• Registered Nurse
In New Zealand, registered nurses may practice in a variety of clinical contexts depending on their educational preparation and practice experience. They can also use their expertise to manage, evaluate, teach, and research nursing practices. When registered nurses apply to the Nursing Council of New Zealand and meet all the necessary requirements, a condition or authorization will be placed in their scope of practice and practicing certificates.

To become a registered nurse in New Zealand, you must have a current registration with an overseas regulatory authority as well as successful completion of a nursing program that is, in the Nursing Council’s opinion, equivalent to a bachelor’s degree program in nursing at level 7 on the New Zealand qualifications.
