6yrs ago when Kate did it the NZNC went directly to the school of nursing UK to get what they wanted. May I suggest you contact the NZNC and ask them what are the up to date requirements.

hi genesis I am already a nurse prescriber, do they recognise my uk qualification

Kate reckons it is a very different procedure over here..sounds right as I have heard of UK gas engineers with every qualification in the book from the Uk having to re sit really simple stuff to satiate the needs of the NZ gas cert people. Again why not contact the NZNC and clirify the situation.

Kate had 15 years UK experience as a nurse 6 years ago when she arrived yet still had to do a very lumbersome PDRP (personal development evidence based) thing that student nurse would do after qualifying.

Were you the March or October intake? I was the October.

quote :thank you so much for your replies....but was wounding, as silly as it sounds, when I contact the university to ask them to send the transcripts, do I do this after I have sent nurss registration document so that the nznc has a file on me already.

Once you made contact with the \nz council they open a file on you and collate all the necessary info as it comes into them. Once they have your transcripts, IELTS and police check they will send you a letter informing you of your registration.

Hi Bev
I was the March intake and Reagdolls 2 thanks so much for your advise, everyone has been really helpful... exam application sent off, police checks to be sent at the end of the month and working on the CV at the minute, the nurse registration document seems straight forward enough (although i may eat my words haha)

RobDon

I was in the September 05 intake.

BevK

Did you do the degree then? Would have had our graduation at the same time (July 2009)? Its a small world!!

RobDon

Yep I did the degree but didnt go to the graduation, too much to do with the move over!!

hi Shazmoo,
thanks loads will bombard you am sure.. concentrating on getting nurse reg first, English exam booked....collecting paper work and eoi is well under way to being completed... I am a little worried as to how much info the nurse council needs on my cv coz I read that the are really fussy. mel

Shazmoo

Not that fussy Mel, i can send you a copy of mine which they accepted, and bare in mind that i was newly quailied without any experience. So you'll be fine! Biggest hold up for me was the transcript from my Uni, but thats the second stage so dont worry about that just yet, maybe give ur uni the heads up tho because mine took 6 weeks to do!
[email protected] if u want any help, i dont check here much!
