Hi Purdy and welcome to the forum.

I too am a nurse and have been lucky enough to get a job offer in Christchurch. I don't know how far down the track you are but one word of advice I would give is to start getting your documents etc... ready for your NZNC registration now. And make sure you send it off in plenty of time.

I was told to allow up to 9 months for it but I didn't quite believe it. Now I do. I sent mine off on 5th August and last week they told me (after I contacted them!!!) that they were still waiting for the transcript from my Uni (it was sent on 24th August). So I have had to contact them again and ask them to resend it. Thankfully I am friends with the administrator so she isn't charging me the usual ?35 . So it looks like I might not get it until the New Year.

If you are just at the beginning of your journey and really serious about emigrating then start it now. Once you have registration you have it for life.

Good luck with it all and keep us posted
