Foreign Nurses or Healthcare professionals who want to work in New Zealand must gain registration from the Nursing Council of New Zealand. As a foreign national, you must meet the requirements for nursing registration and the Competence Assessment Programme (CAP) and have an Immigration New Zealand (INZ) visa record.
New Zealand seeks skilled nurses to address the increasing need for qualified nurses. The number of registered nurses has surged in recent years and might reach an estimated 56,650 by 2024. Skilled foreign workers have excellent job prospects for both experienced and aspiring nurses.
