Where in new zealand to work?

Published

Help pls.Im a filipino nurse still processing for my application as a nurse to new zealand. Im searching the net for the best place to start working, that will suit my taste(a work place in a city or near a city that does not have that too much high cost of living, so i can send enough money to my family in the Philippines, I want it being close to nature also.I love the city life, i dont want it be too much laidback).

So,any suggestions to what place in new zealand im referring to?

Do you know anyone here? The cost of living is high (some of the highest) and housing quality low. Cold and damp. The pay is poor and things are really heading downhill here. You should really look into Australia or the Middle East.

People in small town NZ can be quite racist. Don't believe everything you hear or read. Speak to some Filipino people here first. Most nurses from the Phillipines here are in Auckland (very pricey).

Good luck to you!
