Why did you choose to study as a nurse in New Zealand?

Recently, the number of China students studying as university nurses in New Zealand has increased year by year. The main reason is that nurses are well paid, respected and have good immigration prospects. Why choose a nurse studying in New Zealand? I compiled the following articles, hoping to help you.

99% of registered nurses can find jobs.

New Zealand, like many developed countries in the world, has an aging population and a shortage of nursing staff. Nurses have gradually become a very respected profession. New Zealand implements a nurse registration system, and 99% of those who have obtained the qualification of registered nurses in New Zealand can find jobs. The average registered nurse's annual salary is about NZ $50,000 (1 NZ $ about 5 yuan RMB), and senior nurses can get more than NZ $60,000. Nurses registered in New Zealand can start their own businesses and become special nurses. People who work as registered nurses can also apply for skilled immigrants from New Zealand, because the New Zealand Immigration Bureau lists nurses as the first choice for accepting new immigrants. A girl from northern China, 19 years old, studied nursing in a university in Auckland for three years after graduating from high school and became a registered nurse. Now she works in a public hospital and has obtained a permanent residence permit. She feels that she has integrated into the local society and her work has basically been affirmed and respected.

You can apply for development in countries such as the United States and Britain.

Because the medical system and working environment in New Zealand are basically the same as those in Europe and America, the employment paths of nursing graduates in New Zealand are wider. People who have obtained the registered nurse license in New Zealand can have the qualification and ability to practice in Australia, and can also apply for development in the United States, Britain, Saudi Arabia and other countries. At present, there are more and more foreign-funded or Sino-foreign joint venture hospitals in China, which will attract a large number of students with international nurse qualification certificates.

In New Zealand, there are 16 national universities and colleges offering undergraduate nursing degrees, including the University of Auckland, Auckland University of Technology, Massey University and other authoritative schools. It usually takes three years to get a bachelor's degree The annual tuition fee is about 16000 NZD, and the living expenses are about 10000 NZD. At the same time, the relevant departments of New Zealand stipulate that students above grade two can legally work 20 hours a week and work full-time during holidays. The reporter has a friend who studies nursing and works part-time in a nursing home after school, so that he can apply what he has learned, consolidate what he has learned and gain practical nursing experience. In addition, there are some private nursing schools in New Zealand. Some of these schools have good teaching equipment and strong teachers, but some have low teaching level and are irresponsible to students. Therefore, it is recommended that international students carefully consider and choose a school with good reputation and high reputation.

Nurses have the same right to write prescriptions as doctors.

In foreign countries, nurses and nursing workers are two different concepts. Nurses have the same right to prescribe as doctors, and only nursing workers have no international nurse qualification certificate. It is not easy to qualify as a registered nurse in New Zealand. To enter the nursing undergraduate course, the IELTS score should reach 6.5 to 7, and it is difficult for some people who don't pass the language to attend classes. The reporter has a friend who works as a teacher in China and has a good English foundation, but she decided to go to a language school with relatively high expenses to strengthen her oral English. In addition, in the second year of school, to go to the hospital for internship, it is necessary to communicate closely with patients. Schools and hospitals attach great importance to internship results. If the grades are not up to standard, other courses will be better. Therefore, the elimination rate of students is not low, and even only 30% of students in some schools can graduate.

After graduating from nursing courses, you need to take the registered nurse exam. Those who pass can go to the hospital, otherwise they can only work in places like nursing homes. People who have obtained the qualification of nurses in China can apply for a one-year nursing course in New Zealand and get a bachelor's degree. It can be seen that the promises of some domestic intermediaries, such as "helping to apply for short-term student visas to go abroad for training, and then arranging to work as nurses locally or in a third country to earn a lot of money", are not credible.
