There seems to be a shortage in both midwives and NICU nurse but I sometimes get the impression that this is down to failure to recruit into these areas not necessarily the shortage of skilled staff.
I personally notice a shortage in trained dialysis nurses and know from experience when I put an advert out I get a very low response.

thank you!

There is the shortage occupation list but even then you may struggle to find a employer willing to help with work permit. Here is the thread I did in the UK forum regarding shortage occupation list http://allnurses.com/forums/f124/cha...uk-307731.html

I would like to work in Mexico...maybe during the Summer months (June to Aug/Sept). Is that possible for a US LPN and/or RN?

Hello Suzanne

I'm very interested in working in Dubai. I have looked for two days to find a nursing agency that recruits for the Middle East. I'm new to the site so I'm not good at navigating the site yet. So could u direct me to a few companies who recruits for the Middle East, specifically Dubai. Thank you very much.

I would love to do international nursing. But I feel like I have hit a brick wall because I applied with a job agency for a position in Saudi and they said the hospital declined me as a candidate because of the medications I was on to control my hypertension and migraine. I would like to try UAE but I am not having much luck any suggestions.

Does anyone have information in working in Abu Dhabi or Dubai? I would love to know about (of course,) salary and contract options. Also, do you need a BSN to work there. I have mine but a friend of mine does not. (I am almost finished with my Masters in Nursing Education).
Thank you to anyone who has any current info!
