US BSN student moving to NZ

Published

Hey all. My fiance has an awesome job offer in New Zealand. However I am due to graduate in December with my BSN here in the US. From the research I've done I understand the Nursing Council in NZ will only accept my RN with 2500 hours of experience. Naturally I do not want to wait two years to join my husband in NZ. Does anyone have any experience with transferring to a NZ university to complete their nursing degree? I am so close to completing my degree here that I would really like to complete it, especially if we end up back in the US. Would I be able to transfer my classes to New Zealand even if I complete my degree here? I do plan on reaching out to the Nursing Council. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this and could tell me what they had to do. Thanks so much!

You will also need to reach out to the universities and see if they will accept any USA study
