I'm planning to enroll and study at Waiariki Institute of Technology in Rotoroa with a course of Graduate Diploma in Infection and Control, level 7 with a duration of 1 year. But lately, I'm confused with my consultant fromhttp://www.goldensummitph.com/ if she's really telling me the truth. She told me that all i need is 3 months nursing experience here in our country and then i can study at Waiariki Institute of Technology for 1year, and after I graduate, I will just have to proceed with my 6 weeks training and I can be immediately become an RN there in New Zealand. However, my aunt who's presently living in New zealand told me that I still need to have 2 years working experience here in my country before i can work there as a nurse, because based on what happened to my cousin, she graduated in Waiariki last year with a course of Graduate Diploma in Infection and Control, level 3. And now she is working only as a caregiver and she said if she really wants to become a nurse, she needs to go back here in the Philippines and have a working experience of 2 years in the hospital. I want to know who is telling me the truth, so that I can make my decision and plan for my other options as early as possible. Hoping for your kind response. Thank you.

Okay jenrak, ill take note all that you said.. do you have facebook or anything that i can ask you privately? :) you can add me in facebook. [email protected]

oh that so sad for me to hear. now i know it would take long time for me to become paramedics in new zealand.. now i think i should continue nursing.. thanks ceridwyn.

needed or not, they will still needs paramedics in the future, so i think its better to be on top before necessity comes. :) anyone here know if what are the requirements to become a paramedic in new zealand? how many years do i need to study? or training shall do?

actually im planning to go to new zeland this feb, but now im confuse if i can work there as a nurse after graduating level 7 diploma there for 1 year and train for 6weeks since i only have 3months of working experience as school nurse in the philippines. anyone here can tell me what are the steps to work as paramedic in new zealand? because i found out that there salary are in same range.

Im a newly Registered nurse here in the Philippines who has no working experience, i just pass the nursing board exam here last june-july 2012 and because of the numbers of filipino nurses here in the Philippines, i want to change my pathway looking for a shortcut,instead of doing traditional way to work abroad by doing volunteers in hospital here that you are the one paying them, i'm planning to go to New Zealand and study there for 1 year, by following the footstep of my cousin who just graduated and passed the board exam here in the Philippines last 2010 and graduated last 2011 there in New Zealand and now working there as a HEALTH CARE ASSISTANT and not a NURSE because she said if you want to be a nurse there you should have working experience first at least 1-2years , i want to ask here for advice or decision on what to choose, because this question always comes in my mind... What should i do? - to volunter here in the Philippines for at least 1-2years first?or this is not needed anymore? because i have read in some threads here that even you dont have working experience in your own country you can still study there and after you graduated you can work now there as an RN. - or to study there anything related to nursing courses and follow the footstep of my cousin to work there as Health Care Assistant, and if i earn enough money to study Nursing there in new Zealand, do i need to repeat it again from the start? -And also im planning the location to choose Rotorua(Waiariki Institure Of Technology) where my Grandma is there and i can leave there for free, or Aukland (Auckland University of Technology) which according to my cousin Auckland is way better, bcoz of the ff. Reasons: firstly, at the end of the day, you'll still live on your own, 2nd, the course won't require you a 1year experience before enrollment 3rd, opportunities in Auckland are way too big as compared to Waiariki. and 4th, it's Auckland, the center of everything in NZ. thank you in advance.. i hope i can find the best answer here because i know a lot of people here are very helpful...​
