I graduated year 2007, and tried to apply to almost all hospitals, private and government, did a 3 mos volunteer experience at EAMC, tried to applied for other jobs but out of luck. then luckily just referred by a neighbor to a clinic and atleast landed a job there working 3-5 times per week and do that for a year and a half, still struggling for a hospital based work. 3 years after I graduated and still it is difficult to find a work there in PH so

I Made up my mind and with the help of my brother invited me to come here in UAE. found a work here as dental assistant with a kuripot employer earning around 14k peso amount and i paid everything, worked for 1 year. took a nursing MOH Licensure here for nurses, passed it decided to find another job. in Gods' grace I got a a job in homecare based under a private company and earning around 50k peso. not bad. currently striving to pass the HAAD Exam for better opportunities.

Fellow nurses. It is 6 years now since I graduated and seems that still employment opportunities there in PH are difficult. Think. Have faith. Aim High. Achieved your Goal. Pray Hard. God Bless.

I truly understand Sir, in my case, it's been 4 years since I graduated from BSN. The situation in the Philippines in really rotten. I volunteered for almost a year but wasn't absorbed because I don't have "backer" or connections to help me land a job. It's so frustrating. To add, I think you could not get HAAD exam without a basic 2 years experience as "Staff Nurse: Volunteer Experience not honored". I believe you've taken the HAAD Sir. Did they require you to submit a Certificate of Employment before taking the exam? What were the requirements they needed before taking the exam? I really try my best to pull myself together as a nurse but reality is really depressing for me. I do hope for your reply to my query Sir. Best of luck!

Wow, inspiring :D

Thank you for your wonderful post, this gives me hopes and not to give up.

I'm actually on the verge of quitting nursing but I really want to work in a hospital.

But after reading your post, maybe I just need to try harder and be patient :).

To apply as a hc nurse, you must have HAAD license. Visit هيئة Øلصحة - أبوظبي and go for the examination. First you have to verify your documents with and pay the fees with haad and dataflowgroup.com before you can file for the examination

I heard that unification of license in UAE has been implemented. I Recently got MOH license also and I don't have any idea of what will be the next process or if i can use that in all the emirates. I read a lot of articles but it just led me to confusion.

I am on the process of haad license application. In fact, I just sent my application last 23rd of oct. Here's the advise of my PRO and Haad peraonnel whom I ask when I attended a nursing conference.

1. Apply for dataflow. Once completed after 30 days. You will receive a username and password from the HAAD.

2. Log in to the link sent to ur email with that username and password and complete all the necessary documents and upload most importantly u should have a good standing certificate.

3. Submit ur application. And wait for their response. Don't forget to pray in everything u do.

Thank you for the reply. Just few more questions. What are the documents needed? Is that Good standing cert from the homecountry? Currently i am working in a hospital here in dubai not as a nurse and it has been 2 yrs since my last experience as a nurse. Am i eligible? Sorry if i have lots of questions. Because even my friends don't have idea regarding that. I read some articles but it just brought me confusions. I miss being an RN so bad. Thank you for the help
