Before sitting the written exam and OSCE for New Zealand registration, candidates typically need their nursing qualification assessed and an English proficiency test such as IELTS or OET, depending on the pathway chosen. Test centres for the written exam are available in India, so preparation and testing can both happen without travelling overseas first.

Yes, you can take your written examination from anywhere overseas but for a practical exam that is an OSCE exam you must go to New Zealand.
No, you must have clinical experience of about 1800 hours. This is the primary requirement of the New Zealand Nursing Board and after that, you must crack the written and OSCE exam only then you can become a registered nurse in New Zealand.

No. New Zealand does not use the NCLEX-RN exam at all — that exam is specific to the USA and Canada. Nurses migrating to New Zealand instead go through the Nursing Council of New Zealand (NCNZ) Competency Assessment Programme (CAP), which has a written exam (120 questions, covering medication calculations and general nursing knowledge) followed by a practical OSCE. The content, format and exam body are all different from NCLEX-RN, so US-focused NCLEX prep material will not directly prepare you for the New Zealand pathway.
A total of two exams you must take first is the written test and the second is the OSCE exam.
On this page, “written exam” refers to New Zealand’s IQN exam under the NCNZ Competency Assessment Programme (CAP), not the US NCLEX-RN. The IQN written exam has 120 questions (12 on medication calculations, 108 on general nursing knowledge) and is only a paper-based knowledge test. The OSCE is a separate, practical exam where you perform real nursing tasks — communication, assessment, medication administration and clinical judgment — in front of an examiner across several stations. Both the written exam and OSCE must be cleared to register as a nurse in New Zealand.
To become a registered nursing in New Zealand you must take a written examination which consist of 120 questions only. The written examination is divided into two parts. A consist of medication safety and part B consist of knowledge.
A total 3 attempts you will get to crack the New Zealand nurses written exam. If you pass part A and failed part B, then you must only give part in which you failed.
To complete your New Zealand nurses written exam you will be given 180 minutes that is 3 hours and a total of 120 question will be there in exam.
