How to Get a Nursing Job in New Zealand

New Zealand, celebrated for its breathtaking landscapes, vibrant culture, and quality of life, is a magnet for immigrants globally. It ranks 2nd in the 2021 Global Peace Index, highlighting its safety, political stability, and inclusive society. The healthcare sector, particularly nursing, is in high demand, making it a top career choice for migrants. Surge in Internationally Qualified Nurses (IQNs) Over the past five years, New Zealand has seen a significant increase in IQNs entering its Register. From 2,294 IQNs in 2018-2019, the figures grew to over 3,000 by 2021-2022 and a remarkable jump to 6,079 in the latest 12-month period. These IQNs account for 36% of all nurses with annual practising certificates in Aotearoa. The nursing workforce is expected to grow 8.9% between 2021 and 2026, indicating a sustained demand. High Demand for Healthcare Professionals The ageing population and expansion of healthcare services have maintained a high demand for healthcare professionals, including nurses. Specialities such as aged care, mental health, and primary health care are particularly in need, as the New Zealand Nurses Organisation (NZNO) states.

Pre-Registration and Registration Process

Step 1: Credential Verification with CGFNS Internationally Qualified Nurses (excluding individuals licensed in Australia) must apply to The Credentials Verification Service for the Nursing Council of New Zealand (CVS-NCNZ) through CGFNS International, Inc. This process verifies your identity, academic and professional credentials, and nursing employment, ensuring they meet NCNZ requirements. Documents required for verification: Identity Current registration(s) held in the last ten years Nursing qualification equivalent to NZ qualifications Evidence of English language proficiency 1,800 hours of post-registration nursing experience Step 2: Registration with NCNZ After verifying your documents with CGFNS, apply to the NCNZ and complete the following: Welcome to Aotearoa New Zealand Online Courses: Two free online courses providing an introduction to culturally safe nursing practice in New Zealand and Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Additional Requirements: Fitness to practice checks, including a criminal history check. Competence assessment for some nurses. Registration Costs: NCNZ application processing fee: $485 (NZD) CGFNS document verification and authentication: $300 (USD) International criminal history check: $159 (AUD) per country.

Visa Requirements

A valid visa is required to work in New Zealand. The Skilled Migrant Category Visa is popular among nurses for permanent residency. The Essential Skills Work Visa is an alternative for those with a New Zealand job offer. The Care Workforce Residence Visa is a special visa for healthcare workers who are aspiring to permanent residency in New Zealand.

Finding a Nursing Job in New Zealand

Job Search Avenues: Health Boards and Private Sector: Regularly post vacancies on their websites. Online Job Portals: Sites like Seek and Trade Me Jobs. Recruitment Agencies: Specialized in healthcare positions. Preparing for the Job Market: CV and Cover Letter: Customize these documents for the New Zealand job market. Understand the Kiwi Work Culture: Emphasizes teamwork, work-life balance, and effective communication. Salary and Working Conditions Nurses enjoy competitive salaries, varying by experience, location, and speciality. Registered nurses earn between NZD 54,000 and NZD 77,000 annually. Continuous Professional Development New Zealand values ongoing education and professional development for nurses, which is crucial for maintaining registration with the NCNZ.

Conclusion

Securing a nursing job in New Zealand is rewarding but comes with challenges and opportunities.

The History of the Handcrafted Shoe Trade: A blog about the history of handmade shoes

Introduction – History of the Handcrafted Shoe Trade

As a footwear brand, you may have thought of offering handcrafted shoes. But lack of resources and insufficient knowledge of the custom footwear realm may have stopped you. This is where Kiwi Enterprises comes in. As a family-run company specializing in world-class leather products, we design and create high-quality handcrafted leather shoes and accessories. Our clientele includes the likes of many private labels, organizations, fashion houses, brands, and other retailers worldwide. Whether you are a private fashion label or a retail giant, you can work with us to create custom leather shoes for your catalogue. Thanks to the relentless efforts of our in-house team of designers from France and Italy, we churn out over 300+ new designs every season. So, if you want to add impeccable quality handmade leather shoes to your brand’s catalogue, Kiwi Enterprises can help you turn this vision into reality. But first, let’s take you through the history of the handcrafted shoe trade.

Overview : The history of handcrafted shoes

If there is something that helps humans stand out from other species, it is bipedalism. The term simply implies that we can walk on our two feet, which is a rather unique ability amongst other species. Having evolved over the course of nearly 300,000 years, we have also come a long way in our walking styles. We’ve discovered the need to protect our feet from harsh terrain while walking. It is this requirement that eventually led us to the invention of footwear.

As time passed by, different regions started perceiving footwear differently. The Egyptians preferred handmade leather sandals, the luxury of which was only available to the wealthy class. The creation of such footwear involved adorning it with buckles and even jewels. On the other hand, the Romans liked their sandals (what we know as gladiator sandals today) fitted to their foot. The footwear came up to the knee and had multiple straps on the boot. It was constructed using papyrus leaves or leather. Interestingly, only Roman emperors were allowed to wear such footwear.

Fast forward to the 18th and 19th centuries, we started embracing more practical shoe-making practices. Around this time, more than fifteen techniques were used for handcrafting shoes. Low-rise handmade Italian leather women’s shoes became a trend dictated by Hollywood A-listers and celebrity figures.

But during this time, thanks to the Industrial Revolution, fast fashion had become a thing. As the soldiers in World War I needed shoes promptly, mass production of shoes garnered more attention. With time, people slowly lost interest in custom leather boots and shoes since they took more time to be made.

Handmade shoes in the present times

Today, handmade shoes have started reclaiming their popularity. People prefer to wear custom footwear that matches their needs. They are more drawn towards shoes that complement the unique shape of their feet.

Thanks to companies like Kiwi Enterprises, the time-honoured tradition of custom leather shoes is now accessible to brands like yours. Each piece of footwear we make highlights our extensive knowledge and mastery of the craft, refined over decades. So, if you wish to add handmade men’s leather sandals or generic custom-made shoes to your line of products, choose the expert.

We are a family-owned and operated business, bringing you a world-class wholesale and manufacturing platform with endless customization options.

Tanghulu (Fruit Sticks)

Thank you Karo® Syrup for sponsoring this post. Celebrate sweet moments together with Karo®!

You might be familiar with caramel or candied apples, but meet Tanghulu! This Northern Chinese treat is versatile for many different kinds of fruit. It’s traditionally made with a fruit called hawberry or hawthorn, which are like tiny apples. And similar to caramel apples, you get that sweet, sticky exterior except each bite is crunchy and it doesn’t stick to your teeth. I love the contrast of biting into Tanghulu with softer fruits like strawberries and grapes. Grapes are a particular favorite of mine because the sugar sticks to them so well. They end up looking like glass blueberries. The smooth texture of my Tanghulu recipe is made possible because of the sugar mixture it is dipped in. The key ingredient? Karo Syrup.

You might already know of Karo Syrup, because it is in so many classic American treats: marshmallows, fudges, caramels, pies, and scotcheroos...the list goes on. In a commercial kitchen, chefs often use it so they can produce all those treats at scale. I depend on its versatility to balance the sweetness and smoothen the textures of desserts. For this dessert, it allows the flavors of the fruit to shine through.

This recipe makes enough for about a pound of fruit -- I used a mix of cut apricots, oranges, grapes, berries, and kiwi. I highly encourage and recommend experimenting with Tanghulu using different kinds of fruits -- it’s such a fun dessert to make with older kids but it can be a visual showstopper for cocktails and other desserts.

Before we dive into the recipe, here are materials you’ll need:

Bamboo skewers: I used shorter 6-inch skewers. You can use longer ones for barbecue, but just add more fruit. Make sure that the stick is thick enough to withstand the weight of all the fruit.

Candy thermometer: there are ways around using a candy thermometer but this is an important and helpful tool for accuracy.

Saucepan: do not use non-stick pans since many of them are not built for high heat and candy making. (This is technically candy-making!)

Cold stone surface or ceramic bowls: You’ll need something to rest your dipped fruit. You also do not want to use materials with porous surfaces -- like wood -- that allows the Tanghulu to stick to it.

Now onto the recipe!

For 6 servings:

1 pound assorted prepared fruit, peeled and/or sliced

1 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup Karo Light Corn Syrup

3 tablespoons water

Using bamboo skewers, skewer all of your fruit, filling the skewer half way. Set aside. If you do not have a cold stone surface to work on, use bowls: Sprawl out enough bowls for your skewers, enough to place the skewers around the edge so they do not touch. You will need this to rest your dipped fruit on. I prefer bowls because I can lean the stick against the edge of the bowl without risking it sticking to a surface.

In a saucepan, add the sugar, Karo Syrup, and water together. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue boiling until the syrup reaches 300°F-310°F degrees on the candy thermometer, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you do not have a candy thermometer, the sugar mixture should turn hard when you dip some into cold water.

Turn off the heat and quickly, dip a skewer into the sugar mixture until it is coated. Rest it back onto your stone surface or against a bowl. Repeat. For softer fruits like orange segments, hold the skewer close to the surface of the hot sugar mixture and spoon on the mixture.

Let the sugar coating cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes, before enjoying it.

Dirty ABCs | Jungkook and Candy

Let’s celebrate birthday boy with early NSFW alphabet!!! LET’S GOOOOO

Pairing: Jungkook x reader/OC (Candy)

Wordcount: 2.1k

Genre: headcanons

Rating: 18+. Minors, do not interact.

Here’s my masterlist, enjoy!

Trigger warnings: switch!jk, switch!candy, swearing. Unprotected sex (penetrative and oral — REMEMBER TO USE PROTECTION AND GET CHECKED REGULARLY), double penetration, quickies, creampie, cockwarming, cum eating. Marking, biting, scratching. Masturbation, boobjobs. Mention of mommy kink. Public foreplay, semi-public sex, exhibitionism. Degradation, praise kink, dirty talking, edging, sensory deprivation, overstimulation, multiple orgasms. Predator/Prey dynamics. Choking. Bondage. Toys (vibrators, cockrings, sex swing… 👀). Mild torture (?). Platonic spanks.

Beta read by my better half, @joheunsaram

Aftercare: Jungkook likes cuddles and pillow talk after sex. He’s very traditional about it. He enjoys how vulnerable he feels and how tender Candy is towards him. He really enjoys the softness of it all, and most importantly being babied. He wants tiddies and a nap. Candy is all about spoiling her boyfriend after he’s burnt out and satisfied. She loves how pliant and open he feels afterwards, how easy it is to connect with him and just let him vent about his worries.

Body part: Another tiddie man. He just loves how soft and relaxing it feels to rest his head on Candy’s breasts. He also loves her hair and how good it always smells. He lives to nuzzle into her neck and breathe her in. Candy loves Jungkook’s back. It’s the sexiest thing ever and she likes watching his back muscles flex when he’s fucking her. She also loves his waist, so dainty and feline. And of course his eyes. She could stare into his loving dark irises for hours. They’re so expressive.

Cum: Inside. Jungkook always wants inside. Her mouth is a close second, but if given the chance he wants to sink deep into her and bathe in the scent of her while sheathed in her warmth. It feels natural and romantic and loving. There’s no other place he would want to be other than inside her, all the time. Candy is okay with anything he wants. Watching his peaceful, serene expression after he’s fucked her hard and has found his orgasm inside her is ultimately one of the reasons why she loves having sex with Jungkook.

Dirty secret: Jungkook had been secretly nursing a mommy kink for a while. It did pop up once during one of his and Candy's little encounters, but it's not something he feels ready to face. He is so ashamed of it. Candy is really into Jungkook being her whiny, subby, precious good boy. She only wants to spoil him rotten all the time. However she can't stop thinking about all the girls out there willing to give up a lung to have a one night stand with him. Sometimes she just wishes she could dominate him in public. Tie him up, ride him raw till he's dry.

Experience: Jungkook has had only one partner, with whom the sex felt pretty awful. He didn't really think he was into it or could go that wild before he and Candy started sleeping together. Candy is fairly experienced. She has had three or four short term relationships. Maybe a couple flings.

Favourite position: Jungkook can't pick just one. Well, actually yes: missionary, but with Candy's legs pressed together and thrown over his shoulder but also spread apart, her knees pressed to her shoulders. Candy really likes it when he picks her up and fucks her against the wall, or when he gets really creative. That usually entails lots of laughing and joking and communicating.

Goofy: maybe. It depends. If they're making love, then I do see Jungkook getting emotional and Candy brightening the mood with cute jokes and compliments. They do tend to be goofy when they're together, but usually not during sex. It's either a very emotionally raw moment or vicious fucking.

Hair: Jungkook shaves. He's a neat freak and shaves. He does so religiously. Candy is not that consistent, sometimes she shaves, sometimes she trims. Depends on the mood.

Intimacy: it's very demure but it's there. You wouldn't notice it because the moment Jungkook enters beast mode, it's pretty much degradation and overstimulation all over the place. But it's there too! It's in the mere fact that he trusts her enough to forget how to be civil and decent and just unleashes himself all over her. For the first ten times or so it's shy and attempted, he tiptoes around the very edge of control, but once she tells him she loves him, he goes all out and never stops. He explores and pleases. That's his nature. Candy is the one that grants intimacy the most. He knows he can go wild because she's his anchor, keeping things loving and gentle and tender even through the storm. Now, once Jungkook subs though… intimacy galore. Little touches and small kisses and endless tight hugs. Her first goal is to make him feel safe. And that happens through intimacy.

Jack off: These two? Really? No, you didn't understand. If Jungkook has even a remote chance of cumming inside her, there's no way he's masturbating. He will 300% ignore his instincts until he can have her. And it's pretty difficult for Candy not to be in the mood — or not to get into the mood, if need be. She's also not one for masturbating. She does it only when he's not available, be it because he's abroad or he's too busy. But he's always her first choice. Generally speaking it might happen that he's not in the mood and she decides to take a quick shower and deal with it herself, but usually he's joining her after a couple minutes, his mind changed, a bunny smile on his face as he winks and hops in.

Kink: First and foremost, cockwarming. Creampies shortly after. Candy has a thing for marking him, especially scratches down his muscular upper back. Their kinks depend on who's domming: if it's Jungkook, there's plenty of degradation and high chances of predator/prey dynamics. He gets very horny if Candy plays hard to catch, and he discovers it accidentally, after Candy stole the last serving of his favourite snack. Useless to say, the snack was forgotten and they fucked on the floor. Candy likes choking (receiving) and pretty much anything Jungkook is willing to try. She can't wait to try double penetration with him, she's just waiting for him to open up about the topic. When domming, she's into sensory deprivation, bondage, praise kink and edging, especially when boobjobs are involved, since JK is particularly sensitive about the topic. As long as she has him whining and begging below her, she's ready to try anything.

Location: Well, the bedroom is the place of choice for most occasions. Not always though. The shower is a strong opponent. If they do get naughty outside of their home, it's usually in quite private places too. Hotel rooms. Club or restaurant bathrooms. Foreplay in the lift and on the dance floor — mostly Candy rubbing herself all over Jungkook. Well, they did get nasty in a cave once, but that's another story.

Motivation: as I said, playing catch with Jungkook is always a good way to get him in the mood. He's extremely weak for breasts, so anything regarding those is a hot topic too. Candy often wears loose/low neck shirts and leans over, offering him a glimpse of her lack of bra. Low neckline and no bra usually means "please, fuck me across the living room, thank you" in Candy language. While for Candy, watching Jungkook work out or just get sweaty and flirty is a total panty snatcher. You'll find her bent over, ass up, ready for the take.

No: Jungkook doesn't like receiving degradation. Memories of his ex make him uncomfortable with that. Other than that, he strongly opposes to anything that involves hardcore domination. He can be a dom, but he's extremely sensitive about what he does and some acts are a bit too aggressive for his opinion. Candy hadn't tried anything unconventional before Jungkook, and so far all her past no's have turned into hard yes with Jungkook. She's still exploring her limits.

Oral: Jungkook? Hell yes. He likes receiving but he by far prefers giving, especially when Candy is domming or directing him. He could do that for hours, and his love for the act almost rivals that of our local kitty cat Yoongi. His true joy is being rewarded going for multiples with his head between Candy's thighs. Especially if he's cum inside her. Not too fast though, he needs some cockwarming first. Candy is a true fan of giving head. She especially likes doing so when Jungkook is in a subby and bratty mood. Listening to him getting vocal about his appreciation is always the greatest compliment to her, and also an excellent way to discipline him when he gets cocky.

Pace: Fast. Hard. That's all there is. If he's setting the pace, it's outright demonic, hitting at least 74bpm (it's Kiwi by Harry Styles in halftime). Yes, he can go slower, usually when he's in lover boy mode or even better, when he's trying to show Candy who's the boss. Slow, lazy rolls of his hips reaching unknown depths. If Candy's on top/domming it's all about it being intimate, calm, relaxing even. She wants Jungkook to explore a sensuality he is too rushed and forceful for. Through her slow and steady approach she helps him embrace a more feminine and spiritual sexuality that borders on the psychological and tantric.

Quickie: yes. Hard yes. He is the best with quickies. Just get it over with so they're both relieved and they can chat about their day while he's still inside her. There's not much to say. Just yes.

Risk: they prefer avoiding it, however they're young and experimenting, therefore they do sometimes get a bit past the safety line. The biggest risk for them is doing anything where they could be spotted, therefore they're really subtle and overall not too explicit about anything happening in a semi-public context. Except, that one time while they were on holiday, of course. And that other time in which Candy almost jerked him off in a restaurant before blowing him in his car.

Stamina: Insane. Jungkook's stamina is more about endurance rather than control. He can make Candy cum five or six times while he cums twice and is more than glad. He can go for two consecutive rounds without breaking a sweat. For himself he's usually more than happy with a round of foreplay and one of fucking, but if he's determined enough, he can last one more. He usually doesn't push himself that far though, he does when he's been deprived for long enough.

Toy: Although toys aren't usually a part of their sex life, they do use them every now and then. Vibrators, vibrating cockrings, oh! And their sex swing, of course. That's what they use the most, yes.

Unfair: If Jungkook is in hard dom mode, he is very unfair, plenty of teasing and taunting matched with mockery and degradation. He can keep Candy on her toes for a full hour, giving her small reprieve every here and there. Candy is also equally torturous: if she's domming, she's not done edging him until he's whining, sobbing, begging and possibly crying.

Volume: Normally, Candy is very quiet however, Jungkook always goes the extra mile to make her moan and whine, especially if he's eating her out. Jungkook can be especially eloquent with his sounds: grunting and groaning are typically for his dommier side, while whining and whimpering are usually for his subby one. Moaning is all over the place. Consider also a good amount of murmuring and mumbling some dirty talking. Not too much though.

Wild card: Jungkook likes his hair being combed during aftercare. Candy always relaxes while he speaks loving words to make up for the degradation and mockery. She could fall asleep while combing his hair, she's just that tired and comfortable. Also! When he installed the sex swing in their room, he decided it was a good idea to have permanent hooks on the ceiling, mask them with fake plants. Crackhead.

X-Ray: Jungkook has a nice cock. Not too long, not too thick but it has an upward curve that makes stuff interesting. He's probably around six or seven inches. Candy has objectively nice breasts, full, round, truly well structured. And she has a nice ass too, Jungkook likes squeezing it when she throws her leg on top of him during cuddles. He also spanks it a few tens of times a day — not in the sexual way tho, but more in that encouragement/comradery way he has learnt with the guys.

Yearning: Jungkook can go without sex for a long time. I'm talking about a month and more. It's not a priority for him, except right after he and Candy sleep together for the first time, when he needed to get rid of the high. With him, everything is very inconsistent: one week you're having sex every day, and the following one, he's just all about the cuddles and fluff. Candy is up for anything, however she prefers having sex at least once or twice a week. Both feel safe to initiate without fearing being denied. For them, arousal is very easily built through playing and bantering.

Zzz: both take a while to fall asleep after sex. Plenty of time for pillow talking and cleaning up, though they prefer doing so very pragmatically. Any time spent apart during aftercare is a waste to both of them: they just want to talk things out, relax, bask in each other's warm presence.
