Registered nurses (RNs) are already on [Immigration New Zealand visa category] tier 2 [two years’ work-to-residency] for entry requirements. Changing this to tier 1 [straight-to-residency] will do little to obtain more nurses for New Zealand apart from “stealing” them from countries that are already short of nurses.

I know of several colleagues who have come to New Zealand and then left for better conditions elsewhere. The emphasis should be on growing our own nurses and keeping them.
