Hi everyone! I just finished all 32 pages of this thread! whew!! But i still have a few questions though which i think was not asked in the previous post. But first here's my story: -- i'm a 2007 graduate and board passer -- i also passed the NCLEX and IELTS (sadly, my IELTS is past its expiration date and i think i need a retake. ) -- i have a one year hospital experience July 2007 - 2008. -- i haven't started applying for NZ yet but i will once i get equip with the need-to-knows. And here's my questions: -- NCNZ and CAP schools - i understand that both NCNZ and CAP schools require different length of experience but nobody really expounded on whether it's a must to have a CURRENT experience. The last time i was employed as a nurse was july 2008 - thats a 2 yr working gap already. Can somebody please expound specifically on CAP schools ( since i could just ask NCNZ directly... heheh) -- Is there a website that lists all CAP schools in NZ? I already jot down some that were already mentioned in the previous post but im afraid i need more options on this. -- It was mentioned that it may take around 2-3 mos to process the whole thing at 6 mos max but that was posted at 2007. Do you guys have the current info regarding the processing time? Lastly, let me air out some thought: =) I do agree that several agencies are most likely after your money so it is better to be aware of whats happening. Although i have nothing against recruitment agencies i think it is better to be fully equip ( knowing the steps, requirements, etc) so you could bombard them with questions in case your not satisfied with what they are doing with your money. You're giving them YOUR MONEY so its good to know what are they doing with it. Taking time for research is a very good investment. To everyone who encourage everybody else to apply on their own: KUDOS! And to everybody who took time to share relevant knowledge about going/working in NZ - THANK YOU!

This is a very useful information. Does Timaru Hospital require you to have a hospital experience here in PI before you could have your CAP with them? Is there any other qualification that we need to know. thanks much.

Hi all! I recently passed my NCLEX - RN (California), and it was clearly stated they will destroy your file three years after, if you don't supply them SSN. Can somebody please give me an advice on what to do with my NCLEX results? You still need to have SSN even if you already have a visascreen, is that right? thanks guys.
