Hi There, :)

I am from England and I'm a Registered General Nurse (RGN), Registered Children's Nurse (RCN), Bsc Hons Degree, Nurse Practitioner, Worked within Accident & Emergency for 5 years and 2 years in primary care working as a Nurse Practitioner with a Doctor.

I have a Family my husband works for the Lincs. ambulance service and I

have two children aged 3 years and 14 weeks. And we are looking at moving to NZ as a permanent move but need more information about, hospitals (A&E), pay, schools, housing best areas and areas to avoid. At present we are looking in the Waikato area, but not in the middle of the city's.

And if possible would like other nurses who have come from England to NZ to talk to as pen friends to help with these questions and probably many more later when we think of them.

What sort of relocation packages and help with immigration and moving?

Many Thanks

Francoise :) :) :) :) :nurse:

Hi, I can't tell you too much as I live up in Northland, but I lived in the Waikato as a kid (Huntly). I know there is a major hospital in Hamilton City, which is a lovely city. The climate is nice - cold and frosty in winter, warm and sunny in summer, lots of green grassy areas and farmland in the Waikato. There are smaller hospitals in some of the outlying towns also, such as Matamata. Its a nice place, close the beaches on the east coast, nice roads, close to the ski fields and touristy holiday areas too.

Heres a couple of websites for you ... http://www.waikatodhb.govt.nz/

Hope that helps a little, hope you get some good reply's.
