    Hi,
    Thank you for putting u this blog. It has been very informative and helpful.
    I am an IMG and am planning to sit for the NZREX in March 2014. I gathered that the results would be out in 6 days following the exam. How long would it take on average to find a job/hospital and apply for provisional registration? I found some information that it takes longer for IMG's to find jobs in NZ even after NZREX. How true is this?
    Thank you for your input! :)

      Thank you Amirah!
      Good luck for your exam. Once you pass the NZREX, the next step is to apply for 1st year house officer jobs. Recently, getting jobs has been very difficult, especially for IMGs. Having a PR or citizenship helps. Other than that, chances are bleak. Please be prepared for a long wait and have a backup plan (USMLE, etc). Once you get a job as a 1st year, things get better there on :)

      Do not rely solely on this info, do your own research too, call/email DHBs and ask them too, talk to others who have passed NZREX and are applying for jobs. I am sure you will get a good idea of the situation.
      Good luck!

    I found this blog to be a valuable resource for information on NZREX. The detailed insights and guidance provided are commendable. Additionally, it's great to know about the "Do my Assignment" service, which can be incredibly helpful for Do My Management Assignment students seeking academic support. Thanks for sharing this informative content.
