To be eligible to apply to the CVS-NCNZ you must:

1. have been licensed/registered to practice nursing in your country of education

2. hold an active license to practice nursing in some other jurisdiction.

Note: Having been employed as a nurse for at least two of the last five years is a requirement of the NCNZ for Internationally Qualified Nurses (IQNs) seeking licensure in New Zealand. If you have not worked as a nurse for at least two of the last five years, you will still be able to apply to CVS-NCNZ, but the decision made by the NCNZ may be affected.
