To migrate and work as a Registered Nurse in Trinidad, you typically need to fulfill the following requirements:

  • Nursing qualification. Ensure your nursing credentials are recognized. You may need to provide proof of your education and registration.
  • Register with the Nursing Council. Apply for registration with the Trinidad and Tobago Nursing Council. This often includes submitting your credentials for evaluation.
  • Work permit. Obtain a work permit, which usually requires a job offer from a Trinidadian employer.
  • Health and background checks. Be prepared to undergo medical examinations and background checks.
  • Language proficiency. Demonstrate proficiency in English, if applicable.

It's best to check directly with the Trinidad and Tobago Nursing Council for specific guidance and any updates on the process.

Best wishes,

Nurse Beth
