[smiley=icon_biggrin.gif] Hi all, this is my first posting so here goes. I'm a nurse with 15 yrs experience, so should get 130 points to my calculations. I haven't included the job offer part as we are about 2 yrs away from coming over to live (hopefully!) in NZ, and will have no probs in getting a job, as I can always go thru an agency. I'm just after advise as to whether I'm on the right tracks. My hubby has distant rels coming back to England for hols next month, so we are going to pick their brains also. We are planning to go over next year for a good holiday & fact-finding trip, it will be our first visit. Of course, we are getting books out & searching the net etc also. I heard yesterday about the NZ expos coming up this year in October- might give one a go. I know we're in the ealy stages in all this, but would welcome any advise. Sorry about the long thread!!!
