Possible for international graduates get offered with any graduate nurse program?

Published

Is it possible especially if the student has no experience? I know they prioritize citizens first before us but what I saw in the vacant lists at computer match for graduate nurse program, there are a lot of vacancies ( ranging from 10- 80 vacancies per hospital) and it's almost the first intake which is February 2013.

I think you will find those vacancies are before the interviews and offers and some are for midwifery only and nursing plus midwifery, there is no way they have all these vacancies at this time of the year.

I have, however, found the vacancies at this time of the year:

PMCV Computer Matching

and there is one or two at each of these hospitals, southern health having 22 for mental health graduate nurses.

It is possible that they may consider a non citizen or pr, the trouble is, it costs money for the sponsorship visa and the hospital has responsiblities when sponsoring. If they can fill it with a local or NZ citizens they, you would think, be first priority, but have a go, most of these are country hospitals and thats why they still have a vacancy.

based on your experience, does PMCV Computer Matching always start with may - oct in every month? or is there any chance they start jan - may to compensate with those students who graduated during jan or feb?
