Estherbell

Hello out there,
My name is Esther,
I am a 31 year old nurse from Bristol. I moved to Auckland just over 6 weeks ago and am currently living in Remuera. I have a partner who is Kiwi, we are currently living with his parents until we find our own place. I am finding this whole experience interesting yet lonely at times, I didn’t quite anticipate what life would be like with my friends. I am not working as a nurse yet as I am waiting to get my registration so have plenty of time on my hands, as I am only working casually at the moment. I would love to find my own group of friends. So if anyone out there fancies meeting up for a laugh/beer/movie/food anything that involves fun message me,
Looking forward to meeting you,
Esther

Hello Esther & to our NZ forums. Remuera is a nice part of Auckland to be. We are up on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula but have friends in Remuera.

Good luck with getting your nursing registration. Have you got a job sorted yet? Auckland City Hospital is a lovely hospital to work in (except Tamaki Ward! Medium-risk maternity ward). I would avoid North Shore hospital, place makes my skin crawl!)

Hi Esther and welcome to BE and Auckland.
I moved up here a few months ago from Rotorua but originally came over to NZ from Scotland in Aug '10.
I'm single, 38 and a midwife working down in Papakura but living in Mt Eden. My roster is a bit crazy up till xmas but I'd be happy to meet up sometime if you fancy.

Hi Esther, just arrived (at the weekend) myself with my daughter. My husband a kiwi arrived a few weeks ago to get things sorted, but I have arrived and although he has been working for friends, I feel not much else has been sorted out! So I feel a little the same as you, as we are staying with friends in Epsom and I am already feeling in need of some "space". I would love to try and catch up for a coffee, only thing, I would be bringing my 3 yr old along if you don't mind? (She is fun!!)
Let me know.
Louisa
