Testimonials
“I am proud to say that I was a CAP student Nurse of Rosebank. Rosebank is a wonderful environment to explore, learn and grow. They have well trained and expertise tutors and staff, who are very helpful to clear my doubts during the postings. We had good clinical exposure within the rest home and hospital side of Rosebank. We were treated with respect and care, even though we are foreigners. Also, they have a sociable and friendly atmosphere.  I strongly recommend Rosebank to pursue the dream of becoming RN in NZ.  Thank you Rosebank and team providing this opportunity and guiding me to pursue my career in New Zealand”.

“I am more than happy to provide a testimony for the competency programme in which I was a participant in 2013. This course was a valuable learning experience for me to understand the New Zealand health system and helped me with the easy transition of my practice to New Zealand settings. The course provided me with great confidence to work comfortably with health consumers. My educator was an excellent tutor who was very encouraging and positive. The staff and management are very welcoming and friendly which helped me to settle easily especially in the first weeks of my life in New Zealand. I am pretty sure that the CAP programme in Rosebank will provide an easy transition for future students to the NZ health system”.
