Nursing abroad

[awellman33]

I am interested in traveling out of the us for a new experience I was informed that nurses can get a job for different time frames starting at about two weeks. Does anyone have experience with traveling to different countries and where exactly can I go to find a job? I am currently an LPN and attending school for my BSN any information is appreciated

Where did you work in NZ and for how long? I went to high school in Wellington and have been back a couple of times for three, then six months bicycling and tramping about. I applied for a license, but they wanted me to do some sort of observed practice in NZ for two weeks (they were not happy with my school clinical hours) and I never followed through.

License in hand, I don't think the visa process would be too difficult. Different branch of government. Unlike most countries, you can look for work on a tourist visa and convert to a working visa without having to leave the country first.

I worked in a rural hospital emergency department in a little town called Westport on the west coast of the south island. My wife's home town. I worked there for a little over a year. I didn't have to do any supervised anything to get a lisence.
