Is there a really severe nursing shortage in NZ?

Well today was my last day at Uni and there are no jobs really. well...its not that nurses are not needed but there is no funding in my area in UK:down:. Am now thinking of where to emigrate to. Years ago, NZ was short of nurses. Does anyone know if the hospitals take on newly qualified nurses with no experiences? Thanks.

Thanks for replying. I do apologise for my choice of word. Should not have used 'severe'.

Hi Zulu, congratulations on getting a job. Could I ask where you got one? What was their response initially when you said you were newly qualified?

Thanks.
