I find this a little bit shocking in the context of our current nursing shortage. I’m pretty sure that most of the organisations involved would do it electronically to the prospective NZ nurse at least, and she’d just have to post it into the CGFNS bunch.
CGFNS use a postal system, something Accent Health Recruitment managing director Prudence Thomson said last year needed to change.
“They’ve asked me to print a form for every school, every nursing education, every employer and send it to them and get a reference. We’re talking about 15 forms here. I thought that’s what I just paid $300 USD for,” Murphy said.
From this:
I think (but don’t know) that the medical side of things is pretty digital in this regard now. Vocational registration (from what I’ve heard) is indeed deeply painful for those that go through it, but I’m not sure how much poor (or absent) digitisation is to blame.
Anyone had recent experience of this, or know about where things are going?
