About Tony – Your Personal Coach for OSCE & IQN Success

My Story

Hi, I’m Tony — a registered nurse in New Zealand with over 16 years of experience, a former DHB nurse educator, CAP tutor and now a certified results coach dedicated to helping internationally qualified nurses pass their IQN theory and OSCE practical exams with clarity and confidence. I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Nursing from Massey University, New Zealand, which has strengthened my clinical decision-making, cultural competence, and understanding of evidence-based practice in the NZ healthcare system.

Over the years, I’ve worked across public hospitals, aged care management, education roles, and patient transit services. I understand the NZ healthcare system deeply — and I know what it takes to succeed as a nurse here.

Today, I offer personalised coaching, mock tests, and scenario-based learning to help IQNs like you not only pass but excel. I’ve helped students from the UAE, India, the Philippines, and the Middle East — and many of them have gone on to become registered nurses in New Zealand.

Why I coach:
I’ve seen too many talented nurses fail simply because they didn’t get the right support. My mission is to change that — one nurse at a time.

What Can I Do for You?

“From exam preparation to practical skills, I’ll guide you step by step so you can achieve your nursing registration goals in New Zealand.”

I’m Tony, a Certified Results Coach passionate about helping people reach their goals and create real success in their lives.

I understand the challenges internationally qualified nurses face when preparing for registration in New Zealand. From navigating new exam formats to adjusting to cultural expectations, the journey can feel overwhelming. My role is to simplify this process and guide you with clarity.

My goal is not just to help you pass exams, but to empower you as a nurse in New Zealand’s healthcare system. Many of my students have achieved success on their first attempt — and I’d love to help you do the same.

 

I have worked with many IQN and OSCE students, guiding them to success in their exams.

My mission is to help internationally qualified nurses grow into safe, confident, and culturally competent professionals who can deliver care that reflects the values and standards of Aotearoa New Zealand. The nurses I train are not only preparing for exams, but also for the responsibility of caring for New Zealanders and their whānau with compassion, respect, and excellence. This is about strengthening our healthcare workforce with nurses who understand cultural safety and are ready to contribute meaningfully to the community.

I can help you with IQN and OSCE coaching, blending clinical skills with results coaching so you succeed in exams and beyond.

Through structured courses, mock tests, and personalised coaching, I help you develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence you need to succeed. Every session is designed to match your pace and focus on the areas where you need the most support.
