Filipino nurses who wish to register with the Nursing Council of New Zealand must show proof that they are registered with the Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC) of the Philippines as a nurse and they must either 1) have completed an assessment program or 2) have earned a qualification equivalent to a New Zealand nursing qualification.
Only a nursing degree earned from an Australian nursing school is deemed equivalent to a NZ nursing qualification, so unless you have the money to enroll in Australia or NZ, the best route to take is the 6-week competency assessment program.
To simplify the application process, here's what you need to do:
1. Take the IELTS. A band of 7 on all parts of the exam is required by the NZ Nursing Council. An average of 7, with scores below 7 in any part will not qualify you for registration. You must consistently score at least 7 in all parts--reading, listening, writing and speaking.
2. Once you have the IELTS, contact the NZ Nursing Council. You will need to download a form which you will need to fill up and then send certified copies of your passport, birth certificate, mariage certificate, curriculum vitae, and police clearance, among others.
You can get the form here.
Remember that documents requested by the Council must be authenticated by the Department of Foreign Affairs. Typically, you will need to request your documents from the appropriate agency (NSO, PRC, etc.) and then go to the DFA for the documents to be authenticated and affixed with a seal.
3. The NZ Nursing Council will also require you to submit your IELTS report. You must request this from the testing agency which will directly send your report to the Council.
4. Once you have all your documents ready, send them to the Council together with NZ$465 registration fee.
5. Once your application has been processed, the Council will advise you to enroll in an accredited Assessment Program.
You can get a list of approved programs here.
*About the Assessment Program*
An introduction to nursing in New Zealand including cultural safety and legal requirements of practice. Overseas registered nurses seeking registration in New Zealand need to apply to the Nursing Council for registration criteria and provide the Department of Nursing and Health Studies with evidence of this and of English language assessment (for ESOL students) prior to commencing the course. Clinical evaluation will be based on the NZ Nursing Council Competencies.
NZ$ 3600 Tuition Fee (ranges from NZ$3,500 to NZ$4,500)
NZ$ 1050 Homestay (NZ$175 * 6weeks) (inside campus dormitory)
NZ$ 230 one-time reg. fee
NZ$ 80 for the medical/travel insurance (9 wks)
---------
NZ$ 4960 Total
6. If you have the notice already from the Council, you can apply for a student visa with the NZ Embassy.
7. Once you complete your assessment program, you may apply for a work-to-residence permit which you can use to be employed in NZ.
There are several Filipino groups in New Zealand who can help you make the transition. Look up pinoyz2nz in Yahoogroups if you think you'll need assistance.
If you don't have work experience, it would be difficult for you to be recruited by a government hospital in NZ where the pay is higher compared to other institutions. Some nursing homes, however, hire nurses even without prior experience.

Good luck.

Test Fee: Php 8640.00
I can share more information with regards to IDP Australia since this is where I applied. When you try to give them a call do not expect to be able to talk to an operator. All you can get is automated informations but most of the questions you have in mind would be found in one of the prompted message.
IDP Australia only accepts cash and manager's check as payments. If you are to make a manager's check please make it payable to IDP EDUCATION AUSTRALIA. Please be reminded to check their site or give them a call since prices may change without any prior notice.
It would also save you a lot of time if you download the application form from the website and accomplish it before proceeding to their office for submission.
Please bring additional pictures just in case though in your application you would already be submitting 2 passport size pictures.
DO NOT forget to bring your valid ID usually people bring their passport or their PRC License.
Upon submission and paying please wait for a few days to a week to receive a letter coming from them regarding the details of your exam such as the venue, time, date and even the location map of your exam venue.
Usually 2 weeks before the test date that you wish to schedule is sufficient to be rostered for that exam. This would still depend on the number of examinees applying for a certain date.
On the day of the exam, one thing that you should never forget is your IDENTIFICATION CARD you used when applying since this would be the only one that would be accepted as your reference and entry for the exam. Try not to bring many valuables on the day of the exam since all of your things would be deposited in one area without any numbers so anything can happen but so far no incidents but just for your own safety. Only cellphones are the ones wherein they give numbers when deposited but as for bags they just place it in one area.

Getting to Pearson Vue Manila Office
Test-takers of the NCLEX will sit for the exam for the first time right here in Manila starting Aug. 23. This is indeed a big relief for Filipino applicants and by extension, all other applicants from other neighboring ASEAN countries. Compared to Hong Kong, accommodations and the cost of basic goods is surely much cheaper in the Philippines.
Earlier, we uploaded a map to locate the Pearson Professional Centers-Manila test center. If you're taking public transportation and need directions to the test center, here's a short guide to help you.
Getting there:
From Quezon City -- The fastest way is by riding the MRT. Get off Buendia station. Walk towards the Shell gas station, across it is a jeepney terminal. Get on any of the jeepneys plying the Buendia route and ask the driver to drop you off at RCBC Plaza. After you get off, cross the street and walk towards the Shell Maya gas station. Trident Tower is a building or two after the gas station.
Another option is by taking a bus from Buendia station after getting off the MRT. Take the Ayala-bound bus and ask to be let off at RCBC Plaza. Walk towards the back of RCBC Plaza where you'll see the Shell Maya gas station.
From Marikina -- A number of FX or shuttle vans travel to Makati daily. Take an FX to Makati. Usually shuttle vans turn around before reaching RCBC Plaza, but ask the driver if he'll pass by RCBC Plaza. If not, ask to be let off either along Buendia Ave. and take a jeepney from there to RCBC Plaza or along Ayala Ave. where you can walk towards RCBC Plaza. When you reach RCBC Plaza, walk towards the Shell Maya station. Trident Tower is a building or two away from the gas station.
From Parañaque -- You can take a bus or a shuttle van to Makati. Most shuttle vans let you off at the Landmark mall terminal. From Landmark, take a jeepney to Pacific Star building at Buendia and from there take another jeepney towards RCBC Plaza.
From Taft -- Take a bus to Makati, preferably one that will pass by Buendia Ave. Get off at Shell Maya gas station, right after RCBC Plaza. Walk towards Trident Tower right after the gas station.
If you take the LRT, get off at the Buendia station, and ride a bus to Makati. There are two types of buses: one that passes along Ayala Ave. and one that passes along Buendia Ave. take the bus that goes through Buendia and get off at Shell Maya gas station right after the Ayala-Buendia intersection. You can still take the bus that passes through Ayala Ave. but you have to get off before the Ayala-Buendia intersection. You can walk to RCBC Plaza and Shell Maya gas station from there, and then to the Pearson office.
From the Domestic Airport -- you can get a cab to Makati or take a bus to Makati. You can either get off at Buendia Ave. or get off Taft Ave. and take the MRT to Buendia station. Once in Buendia, take a jeepney across the Shell gas station to RCBC Plaza. Trident Tower is a building or two away from the Shell Maya gas station.
From Ayala MRT station -- If you prefer to get off at the Ayala MRT station, take an Ayala Loop jeepney and get off at Makati Medical Hospital. Walk towards Ayala Ave., cross the street to RCBC Plaza and walk towards the Shell Maya gas station. Trident Tower is a building or two away from the gas station.
Special note: Makati is notorious for its horrendous traffic jams. So, scout the area before your test date and go early to the test center on the big day itself.
If possible, don't schedule an early morning or late afternoon exam to avoid rush hour.
You don't have to stay near the test center, but there are several hotels, condotels, and places that offer accommodations in Makati. We'll provide a list of hotels near the test site soon.
Fare: The MRT charges a maximum of P15 from the farthest terminal. Jeepney fares cost P7. From Buendia, a bus ride costs P10. Flagdown rate for taxi cabs starts at P30.
