Nurses' salary

[snailandthewhale]

Have been working at Auckland City Hospital since February and so far, so good.
If you have 5 years or more post reg experience, you should be on Step 5 ( top increment ) straight away.
Remember, going the skilled migrant route, you only have to stick out the job ( or another nursing job ) for 3 months and then your PR is unconditional. You can always take a hospital job and then keep an eye out for something in the community. That way, once here, you'd have a better idea which areas of Auckland you'd like to district nurse in. Some would be better than others!
Feel free to PM me any stupid questions!

Lupin 77,

Your husband is a mental health nurse in Hawkes bay - interesting....my husband has an interview on the 25th for a community job in Napier. Any advice / insight your husband could impart would be greatly appreciated.
