Hello! Go to immigration.govt.nz for the paper work to apply as a skilled worker. I am going through this process right now. For me the whole process will have ended up taking around 9 months. Most likely you will need a police report from each country you have lived in, results of the IELTS to prove you can speak english, a transcript with course descriptions from your school of nursing, proof of current certification before you can even apply for a nursing certificate. Once you have a nursing certificate and a job offer then you will need a physical and application for a visa. I am going through an agency for my job as I am too busy with all of the paper work to try job hunting also. Good luck
