I want to do the working holiday visa in NZ. Ive passed my IELTS, have two years experience, and am starting my schooling for emergency nursing in sept. Where do i even start? Do i apply for the lisence and get a temp job with a staffing company then apply for my visa? Ill get the visa easily its the getting a job part that worries me. Ideally id like to become a resident in NZ as an end goal. Has anyone got any ideas or know any good sites, or travel companies that are good that can help me out Cheers!

Okay good to know. So is it easier to apply to the website? I know here at home it's all "who you know" and applying from outside the network is virtually impossible to get anywhere. Any advice there? Also I still need a cv example. Mines completely out of date and I have no idea if they are different in the uk then canada. Thanks guys

I am a british/canadian citizen, ill be moving to england and I'm trained in canada so ill be applying through the NMC, writing the IELTS this saturday.

Hi there, just wondering if anyone has any fool proof templates or websites that have examples of cv's used in the uk. I'll be applying for a job there soon. Any advice on how to go about it? Should I use a travel agency or walk into hospitals and introduce myself. I know it's all who you know. My resume isn't terribly impressive and I have no specialty yet so any helpful tips and tricks are welcome! cheers

Mine was a bachelors, so 4 years and EEP!!! that seems like a lot!! hope i have it! Thanks for all your help

Another question, how long can i have a license with the NMC and NOT practice. Like what if i get it and cant find a job, but maybe think of going over in a couple of years. What are the requirements of holding the license without practicing?

Thanks Silverdragon. Do you know if you can start applying before your one year experience? I started work in May 12, can i start applying in Jan? or does it have to be in May? Also what is the 1500 of "clinical hours" is it what i had to do as practicums in school? Thanks again!

I have been looking to work with this company to. Do let us know how it goes! I think, coming from Canada that i would be taking a pay cut. How does it work for them setting you up with a job?Do you just finish the ONP, and then after the NMC says your good, they give you an assignment? The lady from the company tried to tell me that London was cheaper to live in than most cities, having been there and to quite a few other countries, i thought she was from another planet! Nevertheless, they are pretty helpful thus far. Do you have to pay them anything, or they just pay you less than the NHS and the NHS pays them. lol, sorry so many questions. But if anyone has answers that would be great! How long was your whole process from start to finish?

Congratulations! Im looking into taking the test. What courses are there that are credible? Im in canada, I have no idea where to start!! Any info would help. Thanks

Hi there, Yes i did get trained in canada, and yes i know i have to go the non eu route, just a benefit that i am already a citizen and therefore dont have to worry about limiting my work etc. Ive done some research on their company but havent found too much. I just wanted some first hand testimonials etc, the good the bad the brilliant and ugly with people who have used them, or if there are better companies out there. :)

Does anybody know anything about this company? Reviews, or if there are better ones etc. I am a new grad from Canada looking to work in the UK, i guess everyones heading down south due to the economy? I am an EU national so i dont need a visa/permit. Just trying to figure out the best way to get a job to start with. I have no speacialty. Anyone have any ideas.. Anything would help! Please!Was thinking of going with this company, continental.travelnurse as they reimburse me 200 quid of my ONP cost after the second contract. Ideas, Thoughts.. anything?

Hello my Fellow Americans! Need your advice please! Im a canadian nurse, JUST passed my nursing exam yesterday, and now id like to do the NCLEX. I have to register with a state before i do, Which one is the cheapest, easiest to stay licensed in AND more importantly which one is the easiest to get licensed to other states. Like once i have it in one state i can transfer to another one. For right now im def getting my experience here, i just thought while everything was fresh that id try my hand at the NLCEX that way if i ever want, i can have that option open. Any advice would help! Thanks
