Registered Nurse
Healthcare · Three Kings, Auckland, New Zealand · Full-Time · $25/hr
Thinking of taking your nursing career to New Zealand? This opening is for Registered Nurses who have real, verifiable experience and are ready for their credentials to be assessed.
It is about more than landing an overseas job. The employer will look at your nursing background, qualifications, English skills and how ready you are to meet New Zealand's professional requirements. If you are suitable, you can be guided through registering with the Nursing Council and, where it applies, the CAP pathway.
You will work in a premium aged care home where good clinical care, respect for each resident's dignity and care tailored to the person are part of everyday work. Nurses from the Philippines and around the world who share these values are welcome to apply.

- Give safe nursing care tailored to each resident's needs, promoting their dignity, independence, comfort and quality of life
