I will answer all your questions: 1) If you have taken overseas health cover which is for international students then you can get your self treated for free for these basic symtoms. As far as some major diseases are concerned you are not covered for them and needs to pay for the same. 2) Your file must be very clear to New Zealand Immigration Service and they must have not found it necessary to conduct an interview. This is not at all a matter of concern rather you should be happy. 3) Nursing is in skills shortage in NZ and hence it's in a lot of demand and you will have good employment options later. 4) Don't forget that you are going there for studies and you need to give your best performance. Also enjoy your stay but never forget your culture as you will be a brand ambassador representing India in a foreign land.
