Applying for Jobs

Registration.
Nursing registration is overseen by The Nursing Council of New Zealand (http://www.nursingcouncil.org.nz) and their website has essential information on registration.
Generally speaking it is helpful to be assisted in the registration process by your employing hospital or recruitment agency. However if you wish to manage this yourself the process is completely fair and honest.

Health Care Structure.
New Zealand has 21 District Health Boards which co-ordinate publicly funded health care throughout NZ. There are also private hospitals, which usually operate as not-for-profit trust. The aged care sector in NZ is huge and growing although salaries in this area may be lower than the District Health Boards. There are also many opportunities for practice nursing, community nursing etc. The standards observed will be equivalent to a UK / USA model of care.

Living in NZ
NZ is a great country to live, and lifestyle is often a huge factor in peoples' choice to move to, or stay in, New Zealand.
