I was a professional nurse in South Africa qualified for 20 years. Now permanent NZ resident. NZ nursing council declined my application for registration saying they don't accept my qualifications. No way into the profession here in NZ available to me, no return to work training or exam/evaluation offered to prove my competency. A flat no!
