Genuine question. We constantly hear NZ has a doctor/nurse shortage, but I keep seeing stories of qualified people (IMGs, returners, career changers) struggling to get clinical entry points. Is the problem actually funding, supervision capacity, and rigid pathway... rather than a lack of people? what’s your take?

Okay please don’t sugarcoat it! I’m training to become a support worker and I’m excited… but also kinda scared I don’t know what I’m walking into. What’s the part nobody talks about? The good, the hard, the “wish I knew this sooner”?

Been in a pretty standard desk job for years. It’s stable and pays alright, but I keep thinking about the healthcare industry. I’d have to retrain from scratch and probably take a pay hit for a while. For anyone in NZ who’s done it, was it manageable? Study load brutal? Finances a shock?

Me and my gf are moving to NZ for a year. My gf is a doctor and has been offered a job in Whangarei. We were hoping for a bigger city like Wellington, Auckland, Tauranga. What is the likelihood of getting a doctoring job offer in a less rural location?

New grad nurse here! any advice for breaking into the job market right now? just finished my degree and have my APC, but it feels really competitive and I’m not sure what I should be doing differently. Should I be applying outside NETP? Looking at aged care? Aussie? Would genuinely appreciate practical advice....

Unpopular opinion: staying in healthcare might be the bigger risk. In my 30s, in a stable clinical role, but the pay feels unfair and burnout seems… normalized!! if you’ve walked away from healthcare, what did you move into? Did it genuinely get better or was it just a different kind of stress?

What are some standard interview questions and answers for a receptionist at a health clinic? I have an interview coming up and I can't find anything specific to healthcare online. I'm confident with answering about soft skills, but what software or technical questions are they likely to ask?

I’m finding it extremely hard to get visa sponsorship. I apply to jobs that are accredited but I don’t get a response. Any suggestions on what to do. Thanks in advance.
