Comment by Sonia on New grads competing with migrant nurses?

As a recent grad I was unsuccessful in obtaining a NETP position, I am now trolling the internet looking for a vacancy and to much disappointment it is proving to be difficult and disheartening. I go into the next year unemployed hoping to picked from the talent pool and or re-applying through NETP, both disappointing and disheartened. I am now filling out my ATMR-40 as a back-up plan ,if employment is not forth coming. This for me is a shame as I had specifically returned to New Zealand in the hope to complete my Bachelor of Nursing Degree with the intention of caring and supporting Tangata Whenua of Aotearoa. Not to be this is shameful.

Most disappointed.

I completed my training at the end of 2014 and am still searching for a job. All advertised jobs only want "experienced nurses" but I still apply and there is still a desperate shortage of New Grad nursing jobs and many of my graduation class are still unemployed. Please give us new grads a chance - surely life experience counts for something. . .
