To Filipino Nurses in NEW ZEALAND? Have questions please..

Published

Good day!

I am considering trying my luck as a nurse in New Zealand.

Can anyone here help me and tell me what to expect in the 2-3months competency assessment? Is it really like attending formal school where you have lectures, exams, reports? Anyone ever failed that??

How long does it take to get a working visa after registering with NCNZ, provided of course one passed the assessment? How long does it take to get permanent residency?

How do I find a good consulting agency that can help me with the processing? Or dont I need one anymore?

I also would appreciate it if Filipino Nurses can share their experiences in NZ. Was the transition hard? How do you like the weather?

Any practical tips about starting my application to work as a nurse there besides looking at the NCNZ website?

Thanks a lot in advance!

hi. How much would we be spending (Php) to be able to work in NZ? Inclusive of all expenses before arriving at NZ and how long does it take to complete the processing provided the documents are already at hand? Thanks

I applied on my own. I don't want to use an agency, even now I completing my papers on my own for new zealand, and apply there to without the help of agency. Agencies charge too much processing fee from applicants.

hi mich,

ah ok.. good luck to all of us! may all of our dreams of pursuing a greater career abroad prove fruitful!

I agree, an agency here in Iloilo charges P60K-P150,000... You can use that money instead as your pocket money, Btw, do you know anyone from NZ? like a family member? If you do, have you asked them if nurses are stil in demand there. I was planning to apply for NZ before and have almost filed my application, but due to financial constraints, I have to postpone my application. Goodluck on your application!
