I am a Turkish nurse working in Istanbul. I didn't know much about foreigner nurses in Turkey. But I did some research and found that a new law recently passed and now foreigners can apply to work as a nurse.

We do not have a nursing licensure exam here in Turkey. Any nursing school graduate becomes registered by the ministry of health. I found this website, unfortunately it's in Turkish, but I can make a summary for you:

TÃœM YABANCILARA 1 YILLIK ÇALIÅžMA Ä°ZNÄ° - YABANCI DOKTOR / HEMŞİRE SEKTÃ-RÃœ

To my understanding, they will collect all your documents and review it and then issue a working permit for you. I'm not saying "license" because we are not licensed. There's no nursing body to give a license. Only the ministry of health. We also don't have nursing boards.

You will only be allowed to work at private hospitals or establishments. No government hospitals.

I think it is better if you contact private hospitals and find employment before you apply. Here's some useful websites:

Acýbadem Kariyer

İş Başvurusu | Anadolu Sağlık Merkezi

For some private hospitals, we have a higher standard healthcare than any other developed country. I work at a hospital with the highest standard. And I am a nurse with US experience, I know how is nursing in the US.

I don't know why you want to come to Turkey.

Nurses are not paid high, but the cost of living is very low.

Good luck.

How does the Ministry decide if one if qualified to work in Turkey? How does one find out about opportunities with private hospitals and establishments? Thank you.

I think you need to contact the private hospitals first. After you are offered a job, the hospital may take care of the paperwork with the Ministry.

As I said before, there is no licensing body for nursing other than the Ministry in Turkey. So, if your education is equal to a Turkish university, that would be enough.

I am a male nurse, so male nurses obviously accepted.

Many large private hospitals are looking for foreign nurses. I don't know why. I see their ads on websites. Many private hospitals are willing to attract patients from neighboring countries.

If you're serious about coming here, contact the private hospitals' HRs. Some of them are Acibadem Group, Amerikan Hospital, Medicana Group, Medipol Group, Anadolu Saglik Merkezi, Medikal Park Group, Alman Hospital..

As I said before, pay is not as good as in developed countries, but the cost of living compensates it..You can make 2000-4000 TL after tax, depending on your experience, specialty etc. House rents around 500-1000 TL depending on neighborhood. Groceries may cost 500-1000 TL depending on your preference and also neighborhood.

Good luck.

A Korean nurse with Chinese or Japanese language would be a great candidate as we have many tourists from those countries.

I know little about this. You will probably need to take the Foreign Student Exam (Yabanci Ogrenci Sinavi). I don't know about the costs for foreign students, for locals university education is free. You need to check the university website: http://yos.istanbul.edu.tr/

Good luck.
