Wanting to Nurse in New Zealand? Take this warning

New Zealand Health does not offer bowel cancer testing as early as the country you are coming from , and we have the highest bowel cancer rate in the World per population
1 in 18 Kiwis are developing bowel cancer, especially in the younger ages. Yet the Government has only just offered FIT testing at age 58
If you are going to work shifts , night duty , eat on the run, drink alcohol ( to cope with the pressures of nursing in NZ )and have no time for exercise you will be at risk.
Make sure you have money put aside for self surveillance of colon cancer
Coming to New Zealand to nurse maybe your dream but don’t sacrifice your health
