oh thats terrible Roskana, I would be so mad to. Luckily everytime we have needed it with baby things the medical treatment has been really good and we have never had to wait but I know how bad the emergency rooms can be. Yeah he is a trainee surgeon and has jsut got a job in cambridge but doesnt start till january and his internship here runs out in November so for those months he will be unemployed even though he could easily work as a doctor but they wont let him.]]> Tue, 18 Jul 2006 12:23:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3169&PID=59495&title=christchurch-ladies-please-help#59495 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3169&PID=59490&title=christchurch-ladies-please-help#59490 Author: Roksana

Robyn...I am forever amazed how the health system works here....I remember when I had a bad bleeding at 18 weeks and went to emergency it took 4.5 hours for a doc to come and put a heart beat monitor on my tummy to tell me that bub is ok, while for 4.5 hours I was pouring my eyes out!. My dad was furious...how can you not have enough doctors in one of the countries major hospitals? I agree we need more doctors and we need them now!! I am really upset to hear about your BIL.....Seems rediculous!!

yeah we are thinking of going to oz too, I love it there but its just the whole family thing thats holding me back.
My sister worked as a nurse in England for years and made so much money. my BIL is at chch hospital at the moment but loses his job in november and there are no jobs for him in the hospital even if he wanted to stay which I just find amazing considering how everyone goes on about the shortage of doctors.]]> Tue, 18 Jul 2006 12:06:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3169&PID=59489&title=christchurch-ladies-please-help#59489 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3169&PID=59486&title=christchurch-ladies-please-help#59486 Author: daikini

We're thinking about moving to Oz... but not because Nat would be paid better teaching over there

Nathaniel's sister, her husband and their 2 boys live on the Sunshine Coast. If we moved across the ditch, we'd go somewhere quite close to them... go to their church (where Bec and Dave are the assistant pastors) and Nat would (after a couple of years to give us a chance to get financially established) go to bible college.]]> Tue, 18 Jul 2006 11:58:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3169&PID=59486&title=christchurch-ladies-please-help#59486 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3169&PID=59483&title=christchurch-ladies-please-help#59483 Author: mum2paris

Thats true...would you consider moving to OZ Janine? A family friend is a nurse and she went to UAE to work and she was getting paid $200K for one year as well as accomodation, and two trips back to NZ a year....she stayed there for two years made loads of money and came back!!

I was considering going to OZ as I would get paid loads more there but wont because I want to be close to my family......

thing is by the time we finish med school - our student loans are so large and the pay packets elsewhere are so much more appealing - a good psych nurse in auss could get up to $58 an hour - mikes aunty who is a psych nurse looked into it. The reason health professionals from other countries come here is cos the work conditions are possibly marginally better and the standard of living is better and because they have skills and experience the jobs are usually pretty forthcoming too. it's a catch 22, we all just swap places..]]> Tue, 18 Jul 2006 11:36:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3169&PID=59474&title=christchurch-ladies-please-help#59474 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3169&PID=59473&title=christchurch-ladies-please-help#59473 Author: Roksana

I agree but the same thing is happening to the skilled migrants that are coming over here. My uncle is an accountant and has 13 years experience....he comes here and cant get a job.....that really sucks!! Specially because he thought he was going to get a better life in NZ.

My Dad is lucky, he got a job straight away, may be because he is an engineer. But you know the stats say that the unemployment rate in NZ is the lowest ever!!]]> Tue, 18 Jul 2006 11:35:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3169&PID=59473&title=christchurch-ladies-please-help#59473 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3169&PID=59472&title=christchurch-ladies-please-help#59472 Author: daikini

Its probably Hagley park she is talking about but I havent seen the billboard, will keep an eye out for it though. Funny but I couldnt imagine having more than two but thats because I dont think I could handle it. What annoys me about the whole skilled immigrant thing is that so many of our skilled nzers cant get jobs here! When it comes down to it I couldnt care less if for example I was having surgery and the surgeon was an immigrant or nzer but what about giving Nzers some opportunities too]]> Tue, 18 Jul 2006 11:30:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3169&PID=59466&title=christchurch-ladies-please-help#59466 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3169&PID=59440&title=christchurch-ladies-please-help#59440 Author: MILF

I am an immigrant....but who isnt? I think it should be a personal choice as to how many kids you have. I dont think NZ has an Over-population problem.

And I think Govt want more immigrants because they need skilled people now. They cant wait untill all of us have babies and they grow up and become the skilled people......you know what I mean?

But if it was India or china then hell yah have one kid and thats it. I think China has a law where you can only have one baby and you need to make an application to request for another baby....I could be wrong!

that seems crazy aye? that show that was on tv a while ago (dont remember what channel) said that not enough kiwiws are having 3 kids, but that was for a different reason, something more along the lines of each child has their role in the "birth order" and was it the middle child was more likely to go into a caring position for a job? and their werent enough careers? but just this year i must admit i know of a good handful of people having their 3rd babies, i didnt think it was that common, but maybe its getting more common to have 2+ kids? ]]> Tue, 18 Jul 2006 08:56:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3169&PID=59393&title=christchurch-ladies-please-help#59393 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3169&PID=59391&title=christchurch-ladies-please-help#59391 Author: jack_&_charli

I've just heard on another forum I belong to that apparently there is a billboard up "near the big park near town" encouraging Kiwis to only have 2 kids as the population is growing too fast... anyone seen it? Or any others elsewhere?

Sorry for the vague description of where the billboard is... it was given by an Englishwoman (who'd been in NZ on holiday) on an American-based forum!]]> Tue, 18 Jul 2006 08:31:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3169&PID=59382&title=christchurch-ladies-please-help#59382
