Thanks.

Starting salary (for new graduates) from 31 March 2009 is NZ$44,562 annually for registred nurses and registered midwives working in public hospitals. I’m not sure what this translates to monthly or hourly. But, check out the current Nursing and Midwifery Multi-Employer Collective Agreement (MECA) – the full range of salaries are listed in the MECA.

Can you give me some information on New Zealand school education system, because I am writing a paper comparing to the United States of America.

One main difference is the funding of education. There are all sorts of differences but to help you along you should look at the decile system used in NZ. This, loosely, translates to the socioeconomic level of the parents and the community the school is in.

Put simply, a low income/decile school is likely to need extra help and funding so, in theory, the government provides extra financial support to those schools. That is a very simple explanation and not very technical though.

Funding comes from the Government, not through property taxes. Otherwise, I will let someone else answer about the education system – I better get back to work!
