Nursing in Ireland

World International

Published

Hi, This board doesn't seem too active, but I will try anyway. If there are any nurses out there from Ireland I would like to hear from you. I am an American nurse with 30 years experience, currently working NICU.

Basically, I want to a recruiter to see this and offer me a job. Thanks...

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

I would image it will take more than 3 months to get sorted with the Irish nursing board but also are you going to qualify for a work visa?

thanks for the reply,,,

since there's a possibility that it will take more than 3months, can i look for a job there maybe as an LPN or CNA instead to have a working visa so that i can stay longer?

my mom's a bit older that's why i really really want to work there with her so i can also take care of her as well as help her....

I doubt you can get a job as LPN as they haven't been trained for several years. You will need to meet the country's requirements for a work permit and I also doubt LPN and CNA will meet that requirements. Without a work permit you can not stay and work. It also takes several months to go through the process

Doesn't work that way. You need to find a employer willing to work with you and get a work permit. Without this work permit you can not stay and work. Generally you need to have gone through the nursing board already

I would suggest you contact the nursing board and check what is acceptable to them. Do they have credited courses or establishments that you have to attend? Employment will be a case of applying to hospitals and seeing if they will assist with a work permit

Hi! Have you tried visiting their website? Just in case no, here is the link - http://www.nursingboard.ie/en/homepage.aspx

Most Filipino nurses in Ireland were under recruitment agencies before. However, since Ireland is experiencing recession as of the moment, I am not sure if you can still find Philippine recruitment agencies scouting nurses for Ireland.

ABA's requirements are not that hard to follow. You only need to have the application form. Form A should be filled out by the applicant; Form B to be completed by your nursing school, & TOR should also be sent directly by the school; Form C by the PRC. Together with Form A, you should also submit the necessary notarized documents. If you request for the application form, a guideline is included for the applicant to follow, and that includes what documents should be sent. But since you are outside Ireland, I am not sure how you can secure an application form. Well, you can try to email them to request for an overseas nurse application pack, or maybe try calling them to inquire. But most of the time, they don't immediately reply to emails. Additionally, you also need to pass IELTS or TOEFL (see ABA's website for their required score).
