Ako i took option 1. While working there sa adhb, i got my au license and looked for a job in au. Took me 3-4 months to find a job i think kasi paeds ii.c.u lng most applications ko. Then when i got a job offer, my employer filed a 457 visa application for me and the resti did everything online and medicals sa auckland lng.
On a 457 visa, if u want 190 p.r. Visa or employered sponsored.. 2 yrs wait time. But i am going for a 189 so i will retake my ielts. 189 kasi i dont want to be tied up with my employer..so at least may 1 yr au experience na ako plus my nz na 4 yrs or so..pwdi na yan/😉
My friend did option 2 kasi may valid ielts pa sila.. 2007 pa ielts ko so option 2 is not for me. So while in nz.. Ung qualification as a nz rn pwding ipa assess ng anmac for p.r. 189. Iba din ung au license with aphra..get that first kasi 2-3 weeks lng. But anmac..please google lng requirements nila.. 3-4 months ung assessment then pag ok na from them. Apply for e.o.i with diac. Give it half a year..lahat2x. Ok toh na option if may ielts ka and time.
Lock, i stayed in nz mga 4 yrs din bur i only got p.r. On my 2nd yr. there so technically may mga 3 yrs. give or take pa.
I opted to move to au na..i have a sister here and better pay. Also i was thinking na sa nursing license pa lng always getting more difficult every yr to get one what more jobs... Like now, au new grad nurses are having a hard time looking for work.
We experience that before in nz kasi.. When i went there 2008 in my 2nd and 3rd week may job offerS na but the succeeding batches umaabot na ng 2-3 months before finding work until now some almost 6 months na to look for work.
Limited lng number of hospitals and so many nurses kaya dapat may sense of urgency. P.r. Or citizenship.. Easy lng yan as long as u have a job. But jobs are hard to find so dapat go where the job is at the right moment.
