NZ Nusring Council enter in NZ as a nurse and take IELTS in NZ?

[camilord]

hello everyone...

Is there a way that later will process the IELTS?

like want to enter in NZ as a nurse and take IELTS in NZ?

does anyone can give a link or guidelines what to do?

Nobody can work as a nurse in NZ without being registered with the NZ nursing council, and they have strict guidelines, which are here http://www.nursingcouncil.org.nz/ind...l-Registration, starting with the heading New Qualification Prescribed by the Nursing Council for Registered Nurses from Overseas.

And a foreign nurse, although s/he has a skill that is in demand, can't get a work visa or Residence until s/he has registration - Immigration NZ know that s/he won't be able to work without that registration.

So the only way you could do IELTS in NZ would be if you have enough money to live on, if you enter the country on a visitor's visa, and stay there, not working, while you do the courses.
