I am not EU citizen and I will need work permit. where can I seek for help , are there recruitment agencies willing to help ? Or should I find employer on my own

Have you even registered yet with the nursing board of either places? Also things are a bit tough in Ireland so finding someone willing to go work permit route may be hard

The nursing board for the UK is the NMC .. And you have to have a lot of practise hours , I had to complete over 2300 , I did here that foreign nurses can get in with 1600? But am not sure , as for sponsorship , I have heard of foreign nurses getting sponsored in the UK as a whole ... The rules for Southern Ireland may be different as its not part of the UK :)

But you still need to register with the Irish board of nursing and jobs are still difficult

In the republic Nursing is still in a hiring freeze in ghe public sector, your chances are very small

Are you a nursing graduate originating from the US? If so, there is a way you can work in Ireland on your American nursing license for one company at least.

Hi, I think you should first apply to "an board altranais" ( Irish Nursing Board ).

Fulfill the requirement before applying, they require a year experience, IELTS and so on.

As far as job is concerned i don't know much about it but you can check this Nurse Jobs Ireland: Homepage|Nursing Jobs|Nurse Jobs|Nursing Recruitment website.

Hope they will help you out, email them and ask your queries.

I suppose this information helps. All the best.
