Hello,

Has anyone had any luck applying for Nursing jobs in New Zealand recently? It seems that they are not in demand as they once were. Most have been removed from the long term skill shortage list which makes qualifying for a visa much more difficult. Even though the NZ economy is strong and unemployment low relative to the past ten years, it appears that applies to certain sectors and not so much to healthcare.

Feeling kind of down about of migration prospects at this point. Any other nurses here looking to migrate?

The outcomes of the review of the LTSSL are to:
• remove the following two occupations for which there is no longer a shortage:
o Registered Nurse (Critical Care and Emergency)
o Registered Nurse (Medical)
o Registered Nurse (Perioperative)
