New Zealand nurses have already faced the changes awaiting Australian nurses and are still recovering from more than a decade of industrial reforms which left their wages far below other professions, eliminated many of their employment rights, and forced many NZ nurses to move overseas to find work. The latest national employment agreement promises to begin to rectify the damage, but as New Zealand Nurses Organisation (NZNO) president Jane O'Malley told Fiona Armstrong, it's a long way back from the destruction created by the 1991 Employment Contract Act.
新西兰护士已经面临着澳大利亚护士即将面临的变革，并且仍在从长达十多年的行业改革中恢复过来。这些改革导致他们的工资远低于其他职业，剥夺了他们许多就业权利，迫使许多新西兰护士出国寻找工作。最新的全国就业协议承诺开始弥补损失，但正如新西兰护士组织（NZNO）主席简·奥马利告诉菲奥娜·阿姆斯特朗的那样，要从1991年《就业合同法》造成的破坏中恢复过来还有很长的路要走。
