    Hi all! I'm a newbie here.. just recently offered a job in Windy Wellington for a role of a Theatre Nurse in one of the largest chain of private hospitals in New Zealand. Anybody have an idea how is it working there in the private sector and is there a big difference in the pay for public and private sector nurses? :)

    Thanks!

    Wakefield and Bowen are nice facilities but a little older then the new CCDHB Wellington Regional hospital. There isnt a huge difference in pay these days as the CCDHB knows its got to pay well to keep their staff from moving over to private but it depends on your experience. Public might give you more variety and chance to get wider experience with a different range of patients, private might see you stick more in one field such as spinal or gynae etc and you'll find a tighter control on costs such as drugs and equipment etc. This is secondhand from a theatre nurse friend who has pogo'd between both employers and now back at public :) I myself worked at public for many years but in imaging, seen a lot of staff bounce between public/private during my time there. Sure give private a go, if you decide to move over to public I doubt you'll have any issues getting a job there :)
