FAQ

Questions NZ healthcare workers ask

What should be on a nursing CV in New Zealand?
Your NCNZ registration number and scope of practice, APC expiry, clinical areas you've worked in (ED, med-surg, ICU, aged care, community), patient load and ratios, any leadership or preceptor roles, and two clinical referees. Keep it to two pages max.
How much do nurses and carers earn in NZ in 2026?
Te Whatu Ora RNs sit roughly between $75,000 and $106,000 a year depending on step. ENs typically $60,000-$75,000. Healthcare assistants / carers are usually $25-$32/hr under the pay equity framework. Aged-care and private rates vary — use our Salary Calculator for a tighter number by role and region.
How do I prepare for an NZ nursing interview?
Expect scenario-based questions: escalation, a deteriorating patient, conflict with a colleague, a cultural safety situation, and how you uphold Te Tiriti in your practice. Have 3-4 clinical stories ready in STAR format. Our Interview Simulator asks exactly these questions and scores your answers.
Can overseas-trained nurses use this site?
Yes. The CV builder will format your international experience in the NZ style recruiters expect, and the interview simulator will prep you on NZ-specific expectations like Te Tiriti and cultural safety that often surprise overseas-trained RNs.
How do I move from aged care to a hospital role (or vice versa)?
Reframe your CV around transferable clinical skills — medication management, assessment, documentation, complex families — and ask for a tour and chat with the NUM before you apply. Our CV tool handles the reframing; Practice Simulator helps you rehearse the conversation.
