Hello to all nurses... dis is just helpful info 4 those hu r planning to go to Dubai..Please b4 u plan make sure u have the ff qualifications:
prc license
2 yrs exp
attested cert(school credentials)
u must have these 3 things for u to qualify to take exam for MOH and DOH license.u cannot work as nurse without UAE license.
without this 3 impt documents, u must think twice or else a nightmare will come to ur lyf:eek:.. hundred of nurses made mistakes:crying2:. gud luk! just PM me if u nid some info...:loveya:
I would just like to ask what are the necessary requirements to be able to take the DOH exam. Is it like HAAD that you have to have at least a year of experience in Medical-Surgical nursing? How about the number of hours? I already saw from the previous posts the requirements for MOH, DOH and HAAD. It's just that I don't know if it's still updated and the requirements are still the same. Thanks
You need to have 2 yrs of experience before you can qualify to take the exam.
I'm not sure if you can take the exam now in the Philippines, but i believe there's prometric testing center there, you can contact them and ask if they already have DHA exam for nurses.
Thank you for responding. I have seen that they require 2 years of paid working experience for you to be eligible to take the exam. However, it is not noted if it requires a Med-Surg background. Does this mean that I can take the exam given that I hadn't had such?
Another thing. It says that the validity of the exam result is only for a year. The instruction also stated that the licensing process can only be fully completed once you have a recruiting healthcare facility fill up the required forms. According to the manual, it says that the professional himself can look for a recruiting healthcare facility to complete the form for him and finish the registration/licensing process. Can you shed some light on this. Did I get their instructions right?
By the way, how was your exam? Please update us with your status regarding this whole registration process. Thanks a bunch! God bless you

wow. thanks. may i ask aljorn if how many years of clinical experience you had? i applied for the moh license and since this was the answer from the website, i might consider applying for the dha/doh license as well.

Hello Aljorn, I only had a year of experience that's why I only applied for the MOH license. I didn't accomplish the verification for foreign countries and recognition of certificate. What I accomplished was the "NEW REGISTRATION" part. And then I chose registration without MOH EXAM since I am a licensed nurse in U.S. =)) So you are applying for the MOH as well? Are you in Dubai already?
I'm planning to go to Dubai once my MOH license is settled. Update is with your DOH license ok? Thanks and more power! =))

yup am planning also to take moh exam., it's very difficult to find a job here in dubai if you dont have dha license!! goodluck!
Hi guys! Can you pls. help me about the process of employment in dubai as a nurse? I have a current philippine license and passed a NCLEX exam. I am planning to go to dubai early next yr. Is it possible for me to have a job in a hospital? i have no hospital experience but would like to take the chance there. I hope for your positive response. Thank you.
I think the hardest part would be finding the employers (or also known as the recruiting healthcare agency according to the FAQ) who will be completing the registration process. If I understood the guidelines right, there are forms to be completed and submitted to the FDON before the licensing is completed. One of those forms would be from the facility that will hire you.
Just sharing. I also saw some job postings on some of the hospitals in Dubai. Try searching for the list of hospitals in Dubai and check out each hospital's individual website. God Bless us nurses. =)
