I am a UK nurse contemplating the move to NZ. I wondered if anyone could tell me the differences between nursing in the UK and NZ. With the state of the NHS in the UK and job shortages are things any better in NZ? If nurses are on the LTSSL does this mean that things are no better for nurses in NZ - too much work and not enough staff? I know that NZ does not have a national agreed wage scale for nurses but does anyone know the average wage for a nurse with 2 years experience - I can't seem to find this information anywhere?
