@ chichi85

im not sure about that its better if you will send an email to them directly regarding your inquiries,because they just change all their rules last year i think they're giving an option to those expatriate nurses who just graduated!you can try applying to the hospitals here in dubai but most of them requires 2-3 years exp. if they hire you they can process your RN application to DHA or if you want you can take the exam w/o any sponsors anymore.

they need western trained nurses here specially americans to train and share their knowledge here in dubai but only those who are certified and qualified. from what i heared they are giving 25k AED ( just compute that in dollars)

Hi I just returned from Dubai yesterday and was looking for work over there. I am a RN in the USA. I have family who lives over there and I went for a visit there. And I just fell in love with the city. But for me, I found out I cannot work in Dubai because I have only my associate degree. they require a 3 year diploma (which is something the UK gets i guess) or a 4 year BSN. However i hear that different Emeriates follow different guidelines. I may be able to work in Abu Dhaubi. It looks so far all i would have to do is to take the HAAD test and then i could start applying for jobs there. I am VERY interested in relocating there. If anyone else has more info I would love to know. thanks in advance.

Hi niteowlrn29!

I am in the same situation as you are -- I have an American Associate Degree in Nursing and currently hold a US RN license. Unfortunately, since I earned my license just very recently, I have no work experience yet. Anyway, I am also looking at the possibility of working in UAE, preferably in Dubai, or in Saudi/ Qatar.

I have read from different threads that, as a rule, to be able to practice in Dubai, one has to pass the DOH (similar to NCLEX). So, I assume that when the recruiter from the Dubai Hospital turned you down, that was because we couldn't even sit for DOH using our ADN. Is this correct? I hope not... Hayyy... This is really sad... *sigh*

Anyway, when you find out about the other areas in UAE that would recognize our Associate Degree, please please let me know. I would truly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Hi Alex,

yes that is correct about dubai they will not even consider us with an associate degreee. the nurse recruiter said she would love to but since they follow DOH regulations it is out of there hands. however, i do believe we can work in the emeriate of abu dhaubi. it is about an hour away. from what it looks like all we have to do is to take another exam like the nclex and once we pass it we can apply for jobs in abu dhabi. here is the link. http://www.pearsonvue.com/haad/ from what i have read from other threads on here its easier than the nclex.... no pick all that apply yippie!! so anyways all the info i have so far. so when did you graduate? how long have you been working? i too am fairly new, i will be working for 2 years in aug. so if i do decide to move it probably wont be until then. but OMG i loved it over there. and abu dhabi is only an hour away from dubai. if you find out any more info please share it as well. hope this helps.

Hi, niteowlrn29!

Thanks for all the info. Glad to hear that we have a chance at abu dhabi... not as ideal as dubai, but close. :-) earned my license late last year, so if HAAD is similar to NCLEX, I guess I can still make use of the remnants of all that studying hehehe.

Sure, I will share whatever information I get. :-)

Shan, you need to be physically in Dubai on a visa(visit), then submit your papers to the hospital of your choice, (we have rashid hospital, dubai hospital ,Alwasl hospital and Phc`s) or visit the head quaters which is off al maktoum bridge near rashid hospital, so basically both can do,the recruiting officers will assess your credentials and advise you accordingly.If you are selected for an interview,it is usually oral.

I guess this will help.

HI, im new here. I've read amnaj's reply to ShanRN07, i understand that i have to be in Dubai, submit papers, and wait for an interview. My question is what if you lack experience, would you still be able to work? and regarding the Papers, what exactly do they need? Thanks! =)

Hi... I am a RN here in the philippines and iM planning to go to Dubai... I graduated last 2009 and passed the Nursing Licensure Exam last 2009. I worked as a Company Nurse for 5 months and worked as a Nurse in a Hospital for 4 months,,, I would like to ask if I can take the DOH exam? I have read the article saying:***DOH and HAAD should be taken if you have enough hospital experience (usually not less than 2 years). Exempted to the rule for DOH are newly nursing graduates - no more than 3 years***

Is it true? So, if this is true..Can I really take the DOH exam? pls reply..

you should have a valid license in phils and i think even new grads can take the exam as long as you have atleast 450 working hours from the hosp. only RN exams they are giving so once you passed you will work as a RN. only here in dubai DHA exam can be obtained, unlike MOH exam ive heared they are giving it already there in manila.

...

Is that really true 450 hours experience is the requirement to take the MOH? or DOH?(pls specify) for fresh graduate nurses? im really interested.
