let us keep in touch..the three of us ^_^ hi sir ben! we already have correspondence in fb messenger

hi! I was placed on queue last sept 6. anyone with the same timeline? have you received your dl?

Indeed surveys say that we are about 200K unemployed nurses plus the fact that most may just work in a call center after graduation just to support the daily financial needs. And the nursing schools now are having a sharp decline as to the number of students enrolling for the nursing degree. Sad to say...it is harder when it comes to USA and Australia. As for USA, we need to take the NCLEX which costs us around 1500NZD and strictly needs 2 years working experience ( most claim that it should be 200 or more bed capacity hospital ) Plus, 2 states are just being offered here . For Australia, we need 3 years working experience. NZ and UK may offer the least requirement as to the years of experience.

hi dreamyjean :) I really want to thank you for the email add. The council replied saying:"It is recommended that you have at least 2 years work experience working as a registered nurse before applying for New Zealand registration as this will help with employment prospects. Also if you are required to complete a competence assessment programme, many of the competence assessment programme providers will not enrol anyone who does not have 2 years work experience. It is also getting harder to get into the programmes because the demand is high. It is preferable that you are in paid employment as a registered nurse working in a clinical setting" I guess...I really need to think deeply on what will be my decision :) I need to weigh the circumstances as well as the consequences. After all...the nurses in our country are having a hard time in landing a job most especially if one's target is a hospital work experience. Hospitals are in freeze hiring state. They can only offer trainings in which we are the ones who are paying for it and after such there is no guarantee that we can be hired thus we end up looking for another one.

I'm extending my warmest gratitude for your respone. It really helps me :) I will send them again my letter. Indeed international nurses need to take IELTS and have a band score of 7 for each area in order to register I just hope I can get a favorable response from the council and given the chance I am very much willing to be in your country for both personal and professional growth as a nurse. Thank you once again!

Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate it :) It helps me a lot. I hope the council will really reply. Though I have 450 hours of training gained in our country, I am not pretty sure if the council will really honor this plus the fact that consulting agencies claim that 1 year experience even as a volunteer is needed to proceed to CAP. Yet, the processing takes time even if you are qualified. One needs to have a slot and it may take even a year to wait . My related learning experience (RLE) when I was a student was more than 2400 hours. [email protected] > am I having the right address for me to have a message?

hello dreamyjean :) thank you so much. I sent the council an inquiry regarding this matter yet I haven't heard from them. The counsulting agencies in our country are offering us a level 7 graduate certificate in infection control as well as a working permit after the course of study. I am afraid in taking the risk to go there with this kind of offer since I only have 450 TRAINING hours gained in our country and if ever the work as a nurse/heathcare assistant/caregiver in your country. I really don't have any concrete details =( The consulting agencies say that I should try to apply to nursing homes/hospitals providing CAP when I get there :/ Thanks once again!

Thank you CarribRN for the info.. I am really confused since consulting agencies in our country may claim that even 1 year experience as a volunteer nurse can suffice with the requirement of NZNC but when I tried to search for relevant details it was stated at least 450 working hours but I really don't know if the council pertains to employment or trainings can be really considered. Nurses in our country are having a hard time in landing a job which is suited to our degree

hi dreamyjean :) i just know 2 friends who are in NZ now yet they had different program since they graduted 3-4 years ago. The program being offered by the consulting agency is new. Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I really appreciate it. I thought of sending the council a message..only that the site is temporary closed here in our country.

hi everyone! I'm a registered nurse in the Philippines. I don't have any working experience considering that I graduted last March 2010. In addition, our country is in freeze hiring state and hospitals can only offer trainings. I am thinking of availing the offer of consulting agencies here in our country which caters a working visa in New Zealand. My main concern is: if I am going to grab this opportunity and work there as a healthcare/nursing assistant or even a caregiver, will I able to register in New Zealand Nursing Council for me to have the CAP? I kept on searching for details regarding this matter yet I cannot afford to find any. It just states that 450 working hours is one of the requirements but it was not clarified whether they can accept same hours of training experience nor employment as healthcare/nursing assistant is creditted. Hoping for yor responses :) It will really help me in deciding
