Hi to all. I am an RN in SF, CA right now working with a city and county Hospital. I am float Nurse with ICU dialysis, Med-Surge(TBI in Texas Neuro) but mostly geriatrics experience of accumulated 5+ years. I am seriously moving to NZ or Australia. I graduated from the Philippines but I am an American Citizen. So I have Ielts with Academic and General in hand and all above 7. My questions are: if there is a need for nurses in New Zealand can somebody recommend me an employer? If I have to attend a school, which is no problem since I graduated from the PI, how many years will be that? And if the question is, why am I moving to these countries from the one of the greatest cities on earth, as they say perception is reality and unless you are smart to know what is the meaning of life aside from paying mortgage that will offer with free alopecia areata and with free super high cortisol level, I will not fall into that trap. Thank you in advance and yes I would like to read on any suggestions. I am willing to move on those areas that needs my services and have no intentions of taking away somebody's opportunities, specially new grads, meaning only on those areas that needs my services, thank you.

Hi AllNurses, How are you all? I have a question, you see I took the NCLEX-RN last December 12, 2007. I told a graduate from here that I took it for 32 minutes ( I went inside the room at around 8:05 then got out at around 8:49 minus the time that I took to fill in for those instructions which I think took me almost 12 minutes, that makes it around 32 minutes for the exam proper) he was somewhat irritated by that notion that I took it for just that time and he said he took it for almost 4 hours for 75 items. He was suspecting that I was blowing some smoke. So can anyone tell me why is he so upset by that?Maybe because I graduated from an ordinary school in the Philppines and he graduated from a university here in California?I just dont know. Just confused, Ramzeneger
