Hi, need some advice please

I was lucky enough to be told yesterday that I was successful in gaining registration for NZ. It was a real shock to get it first time around as I've been on this forum before and heard all the horror stories from other people. I started the process well over a year ago (on the old portfolio) and managed to submit it in time before it changed over. They needed more info before it was passed to the assessors

Anyway can someone please advise what the next stage is for those who are successful? This might sound daft but I was really expecting it to be sent back to me asking for more training so I continued working in Ireland letting the NZ application run its course.

THe NZ Board have issued me with a number and said I can apply for the APC for April 2010 - March 2011 but i haven't obtained a work visa or found an employer yet. I'll contact them of course to get more clarification but this forum has been really helpful.

Do you need to apply for the APC immediately or can it be delayed for a few months until you get the work visa sorted out and find an employer? I'm still working full time in Ireland.

Sorry if I sound big headed as well all know how frustrating it has been providing the info they want but to all those still trying - keep going and you'll get there. I've been qualified 15 years from the UK, am far more into MSK than cardio or respiratory but I got references from old employers so that could be helpful!

Also I phoned the NZ Board direct a couple of times for advice and they were really helpful too.

Good luck to all of you and any advice would be great

Chris
