Any Teachers or Nurses?

Is there anyone entering under the teacher/nurses skills catagory?

Would love to hear what your area of specialty is...any pointers?

Hi there I am a registered nurse in mental health and have just been offered a job in Hastings. They seem to be crying out for nurses in NZ. I will be going with a 2yr work visa then get residency once I am there I understand it is cheaper and easiier to do it this way as you get more points once working there etc. I went through a nursing agency which did not cost anything as the hospital boards pay them to find staff. This has taken out some of the hassle for me.

Congratulations!

Wow -- that is great. How many years nursing experience do you have? Have they somehow interviewed you?

Did you select Hastings....as a first choice?

Thanks. I was open to going to where ever I was offered a job but did not want to go to the larger cities. I am really pleased with the location and I think it will suit me. I have 20 years experience in nursing. Jesselyn I have sent a private message to you. They interview you over the phone. I had two people on a link and whilst I was waiting for the phone call I sweated buckets! but it was'nt too bad at all and its the only interview I have been to and not dressed up for! The interview lasted one hour. If you are interested in going to NZ as a nurse the first thing you need to do is register your qualification and get it verified by the NZ nursing council. This can take a while but once you have it then you can start applying.
