inexperienced nurse from Philippines to work in Dubai

Good day,

I have an uncle in Dubai who is gonna process my Visit or Tourist Visa this week. It cost alot so I want to be careful. I am a licensed nurse here however, I, like alot of my colleagues, have no Hospital Experience. I have read alot of similar questions like this here in allnurses and have found out that I will likely end up in a clinic. I also looked into the DOHMS website and saw that all hospitals require 2 years experience. I am still hopeful for a hospital job.

1. Is it possible for me to work in a hospital in Dubia/ UAE?

2. Has anyone done this?

3. If it is possible, can I do it in 1 month?

Thanks a lot for reading and I hope you can all help me

Thank you so much for your reply. I realize that I do have some advantage Sir/ Madam, however, I am in a dilemma whether to go to dubai or just take the Vermont NCLEX-RN path.

I would be spending 80,000 phil pesos to enter dubai for 3 months or maybe even 1 month with absolutely no Job Offer. I would really like to have hospital experience first before going into the United States or Canada so I hope there is someone who was able to do this in UAE

I wouldn't really recommend you to take the NCLEX-RN path unless you are a GC holder. We all know about the retrogression and you taking the exams now will just be useless. But if you do have a visa in the US that will let you work then by all means finish all the required exams.

You can always take the exams later on when you have the needed visa. For now, you can focus on gaining experience. Clinical experience is really better than nothing. At least you'll be working in a related field unlike most nurses who are either jobless or working in a different field. You can also take that clinical experience as a step for you to get a hospital experience there. Once you are there and working in the clinic, you can always try to find a job elsewhere (e.g. hospital). So, don't feel too sad about it.
