Our story
Your NZ IQN and OSCE Success Partner
Built by NZ-registered nurses for internationally qualified nurses preparing for NCNZ registration.
We know the journey to practise in Aotearoa is exciting and demanding. After years of clinical experience, the NZ IQN theory exam and OSCE can still feel like a new language. That's why we created Kiwi Nurse Academy: to help you feel confident, clear, and supported at every stage of your NCNZ registration journey.
Why Kiwi Nurse Academy
Our educators are New Zealand registered nurses who have gone through the same transition. We understand the standards of the Nursing Council of New Zealand, the expectations in local clinical settings, and the study strategies that work for busy nurses preparing for the IQN theory exam and OSCE.
What you'll get
- NZ IQN Theory Exam preparation — structured lessons covering medication safety, nursing knowledge, cultural safety, ethics, and professional accountability, with topic-wise quizzes and timed full-length mock exams.
- OSCE clinical preparation — station-based learning covering clinical assessment, patient communication, medication management, documentation, and infection control, with checklists and small-group feedback options (maximum 3 learners).
- Realistic mock exams with answer explanations so you understand the "why" behind each question.
- NZ-context focus — every lesson is framed around New Zealand healthcare standards, Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles, and NCNZ expectations.
- Flexible 24/7 access — study around shift work and family commitments on desktop or mobile.
Our promise to you
We believe every nurse deserves a clear, respectful pathway to registration. We focus on practical learning, clinical reasoning, and confidence-building so you can bring your best self to every exam and every patient interaction.
