What if a RN have 2 years paid hospital work experience, assigned in a special area like ICU or Theatre/OR) and a combined ielts score of 7 in all subtest? Which is much better? CAP or 1 year HCM? Tourist or Student Visa? Hoping for your response, thank you!

Since you are a qualified candidate for Cap, this is the best choice. You can be a licensed nurse after 1.5-2.5months of training, that you dont have to wait for 1yr to earn as nurse. Definitely Cap is the best option.

Good day!
Thank you very much for your response. I have another question again and I hope you can enlighten me.
I am a RN in the philippines with 2 years paid hospital experience. I already have an ielts score of 7 in all subtest and was about to submit my application form to NCNZ. Unfortunately, I'm very anxious because I have read cases of our fellow nurses who have been denied/disapproved by the nursing council due to being a second courser. In my case, I took up 1 year Bachelor of Science in Accountancy in another university in our province then decided to change my course and transfer to another school in which I have been told that only few subjects can be credited and so I started again to zero, I mean 1st year again. After 1 1/2 year, I transferred to another school again in Manila in which I studied for 2 1/2 years and where I have graduated. Is it possible that I will face the same problem/difficulties that second coursers have in securing an approval letter due to my school record? It took 5 years for me to complete my studies and it is also shown in my Transcript of Record.
Please help me, your response will be greatly appreciated.
Hi ilovecass,
There are so many second coursers here who passed the NCNZ. Start processing your papers asap. :)
Unless you try it, you'll never know if you can.
God bless
Thank you again for your reply @nurse2us and may God bless you too! :) Yes, I have already submitted my application and received an email from the council. They are asking me to submit my transcript verifications. I am really confused as to whether I should also give my 1st school of nursing the form that was given to me by the council or just the school where I have graduated. Please enlighten me.
P.s. regarding my other post last June 9, I hope that the admin will delete it and my other post too with the same subject in a different thread. Thank you again.
