Thank you so much for your reply. Do you have some advice on how i can gain entry to nz and have pr.? I have my auncle there as a mechanic wiyh his family. They are now permanent residents in nz. I laso have a concern regarding the cap course in nz if ever i work as a nurse. They said, cap course slots are very limited. If i process my papers, i can probably have my slot by 2015.

Hi. i would like to ask for an advice. Im a NICU nurse here in the phil. I already have 2 years and 4 months experiece and took ielts with these scores: listening=8, reading=8, writing=6.5, and speaking=7. Im planning to go to new zealand thru student visa. My agent told me that i would study for post graduate diploma in health care and after a year, i can work there as health care manager or doing admin works in the hospital. While studying, i can work 20 hours per week. I asked her for the nursing career path and she told me that if i really want to become a nurse, i should retake my ielts and have 7 in all categories. I can then process my papers and let the newzealand nursing council assess my documents ( it would take around 4-6 months) , after which they would give me a slot for the bridging course (cap). Last 2012, the nursing council gave the nurses the 2013 slots and early this year, they have given the 2014 slots. My agent said that if i apply for cap, probably i would get the 2015 slot. I am very much worried about the post graduate diploma course that i would take. Are there job opportunities in nz that would require these post grad course? I hope nz nurses can give me some advices. Thank you
