New Zealand 🇳🇿 Current Situation of Nurses? CAP or OSCE? Is it Good to come to New Zealand now ?

*SOME INFORMATION ABOUT NEW OSCE TEST NEW ZEALAND*
nursingcouncil...
What has changed?
The Nursing Council has changed the competence assessment requirements for internationally qualified nurses applying for registration in New Zealand.
All nurses need to have their documents verified and authenticated by CGFNS as the first step before applying to the Nursing Council.
All nurses need to complete the Welcome to Aotearoa New Zealand programme, which currently is two free online courses. The only exception is Australian nurses who have a different pathway to registration (see below).
Some nurses who apply for registration will be required by the Council to undergo an assessment of competence. That assessment will be completed in two parts:
A theoretical examination
This tests nursing knowledge and is taken online through our accredited provider Pearson VUE, at one of their exam centres, overseas or in New Zealand.
and
A clinical competence examination
This includes a three-hour clinical examination which is called an Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE). It is taken in person in New Zealand through our accredited provider Nurse Maude Association. The exam is held in purpose-designed facilities at the Nurse Maude Simulation and Assessment centre in Christchurch.
Prior to the OSCE, there will be a two-day orientation and preparation course held at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch. This must also be taken in person.
If you are required to take a competence assessment, find out more here.
Why is there a new application process?
The Council has introduced the new process to
offer an objective, standardised, and consistent approach to assess competence
protect public safety by being objective and fair while requiring knowledge of New Zealand’s unique practice setting
uphold the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi by requiring culturally safe practice, examined in the OSCE
align with other international regulators taking a similar approach.
Are the English language assessment requirements changing?
No. There will be no change to the current English language requirements.
What happens if I applied for registration before the new system was put in place?
If you applied before the new system was put in place, (04 December 2023), and you are required to undergo a competence assessment, you may have the opportunity to take a Competence Assessment Programme.
Is it the same process for Enrolled Nurses?
The Nursing Council is developing a dedicated pathway to registration for Enrolled Nurses and until that is ready, the following process is in place:
Verify your documents through CGFNS, an external company.
Apply for registration to the Council.
You can only apply for registration to the Council AFTER you have had your documents verified by CGFNS.
The Council will then let you know what you need to do.
What if I am a nurse with an Australian practising certificate?
Nurses with a current Australian practising certificate have a separate process.
Under the TTMR agreement, you would apply to the Nursing Council here.
How much will this new application process cost?
The Nursing Council fee to process your application is $485 (New Zealand).
There are additional costs from external providers.
All fees paid are non-refundable.
Does CGFNS still have to verify my documents?
Yes, this is your first step.
CGFNS is the Nursing Council’s only accredited provider of verification services.
You will need to submit your documents and have them verified by CGFNS before you can begin your application to the Nursing Council for registration.
Can I apply directly to the Nursing Council with all my documents?
No.
You must first verify your documents with CGFNS before you can begin your application for registration with the Nursing Council.
How long will registration take?
We are receiving high volumes of applications from internationally qualified nurses.
All applications are individually assessed and the length of the process varies depending on what is needed.
If the Council assesses your application and says you require a competence assessment, you will need to successfully complete a theoretical and a clinical examination as part of the registration process.
If we require further documentation from you or documents are missing from the application, the process will take longer as we follow up.
We also require all internationally qualified nurses to take the ‘Welcome to Aotearoa New Zealand’ online programme to introduce you to culturally safe nursing practice in a New Zealand setting, and to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. You then upload your completion certificates.
All IQNs also need to complete a criminal history check, as the Council needs to make sure nurses coming to practise in New Zealand are of good standing. That check needs to be completed before registration occurs.

So many have failed in cap.... newzealand nursing council seems to be not bothered about that...loss of money,time, previous job,gap.....life ill get lost

[@AjinsTraVlogs]

Not sure about that

[@jyotitolta8839]

People have failed 😨 Everyone keep saying that if you have a degree plus one year clinical experience it’s very easy to do CAP. But even those who hv completed their course aren’t able to find a job. Many are jobless and so many including me are waiting for offer letter which seems to be impossible to get in 2024 due to overflow of applications. It’s miserable out here.

No vacancies for nurses. Pls don't come to here..

[@AjinsTraVlogs]

Why is that ? I heard many are getting jobs. (I'm not sure, because i'm not in that field ) or is it because you do not have sufficient experience in the same dept ?

Work, buy a house, do some overtime, pay off some mortgage early. Don't buy townhouse or unit. Buy only house. Don't overcommit your parents or brothers debt. 1st priority should be buying the house, kids education etc. Remember its a migration to a developed country, not travelling for work. Once you made some equity on ur property then buy the second property in new Zealand or migrate to Australia and buy here.
