the pay ranges from 40,000 to 55,000 NZD annually and yes, the nurses are respected. the docs dont have god complexes and the clients listen. the cost of living at hamilton is lower than what it is at auckland. for more info about that, you can check...

hi there, the CAP is for foreign-trained RNs (except aussies) and for those who've been out of the practice for more than 5 years. i've been in a class like that and i had classmates from everywhere - im from the philippines and some of them were fro...

hi there, i did my clinicals in the surgical ward at waikato dhb and have found the staff helpful and friendly. they'd always ask if there's anything you're needing help with. they have staff rooms where you can have tea and chat and the managers ask...

is there a bond to that hospital's contract? you can get the training and do your NCLEX too you know.:wink2: dialysis RNS are paid more becuase they're stationed in specialized area. look at the brighter side!

does competency really take 2-3 months? my agency said mine will take 6 weeks. I filed my application this January, they're estimating approval by the end of Feb. If all works out fine, i'll be leaving this March. you can file for permanent residenc...
