My husband and I are moving from the US to Auckland in mid-May 2010. Husband's accepting a job at the University of Auckland, so it's a pretty sure thing that we will be there, and I'm somewhat limited in terms of location (only Auckland). I'm seeking some information regarding: 1. What hospitals would you recommend in the Auckland area? 2. What would be an average starting wage for an RN with a bachelor's degree and 2 years ER/Trauma experience? 3. What are the schedules like? I have been working three 12 hour shifts a week, but I'm not sure if those are offered at the hospitals in Auckland. I've tried to gather some of this information from other sites, but it's all been pretty sketchy. The hospital websites themselves are even less helpful. Any help about one or all of these issues would be much appreciated! I've enjoyed perusing all of the posts on this topic and have already learned some helpful information.
