Difference between being a USRN and NZRN

World International

Published

Hi everyone! I just want to ask the differences in the nursing profession between the US(particularly in Texas) and New Zealand? I want to know the workload and how is the work environment in both places. I recently passed the NCLEX and I am about to start my CAP Course too. I cannot decide on whether I should start applying on agencies to process my work papers for US or should I wait and see how it will go for me in NZ? If there is anyone here who experienced working on both places, can you please tell what are the pros and cons working as a nurse in these countries?

Hi caramel79! I haven't been to Texas yet but I already got my license for the state. I only did the exam for my registration, they didn't require anything else.
