No longer on the skills lists....unless you work in aged care, critical care, medical or perioperative

I'm not really suprised, there's not too much on the job market at the mo

tell me about it.. im trying to job hunt at the moment..thankfully my speciality is in acute medical nursing.. but its still hard...LTSSL or not.

Good luck Moondust. Where are you looking to move to?

moondust_frenzy

Anywhere a job comes up at the moment. I was hoping to move by December but that got delyed with the registration bits.

Just want to get over there now.

Would you consider agency work or aged care..... as a foot in the door?

moondust_frenzy

I have contacted a few agencies just waiting to hear back. If need be I would do aged care.

I had questioned with someone about retirement village jobs but they suggested I check it wouldn't affect my visa. If DHB jobs fail then I may just look into this route.. as you said its a foot in the door.

Just a thought - have you tried BUPA or similar organisations? Having a quick glance there are nursing vacancies on their website based in retirement villages.

moondust_frenzy

I have looked but not applied for anything with the yet. Was also looking at Ryman Healthcare which are retirement villages/ hospitals.

I have put in about 7 applications to DHB' s recently so waiting to hear back. I am going to give it another month then look at the retirement village option.

Do you have neuro experience? ABI have been looking for RN's. Just shout if I can be of help

moondust_frenzy

I work on a admissions unit so get a bit of everything.

I am an OT rather than a nurse but when I was looking for work, I signed up with seek.co.nz and kiwihealthjobs.co.nz. Quite a few nursing jobs come up via those 2 sites so might be worth keeping your eye on those websites if you aren't already.

Also, don't rely on the individual DHB's job recruitment part of their website being completely up to date... was told that by a lady in HR at one of the DHBs (won't name and shame!).
