hello there. i'm a CGFNS certificate holder and a nclex passer however, i felt so sad thinking that i've been waiting for my immigrant visa for two years now. I'm considering the option of working as a nurse in dubai while waiting for the said visa. i would like to know if someone knows the salary rate per month of the nurses in dubai. i guess working in UAE is a good idea since i still have to wait for my visa for another year.

Thank you mercyteapot

Do you think this means that my nursing qualification will not be recognised?

I really don't know if it would be or not.

thanks, I'll need to do more researching. Does anyone know if Dubai has a governing nursing body that i could contact? Similar to the NMC in the UK

There is no governing nursing body like NMC etc .Ministry of health issues MOH lic.

thanks flyinghigh

I have found a couple of services for children with specail needs in the dubai area in particular one which provides 24 hour nursing care. I have sent emails for information and employment enquiries. Will keep you informed of my progress

to work in Dubai one should have minimum 3yrs working exp-now most of the hospital asks for 4yrs BSN for a staff nurse post.English and working knowleddge of arabic is necessary.to work in govt one should have MOH license and to work in private[ DOH license[which u get after passing exam[maximum 3 attempts allowed]-to appear for exam u need to verify all ur nursing cert.-and license almost same way cgfns does]this is for asian graduates.graduates from UK /US etc are exempted from this exam.For the same post a local arab person gets higher salary than an asian employee.Givt jobs pay better like 4000Dhs plus but there are nurses getting just1200 dhs and working two shifts in private 4dhs=1US$.standard of living is very high.taxis are very expansive-Driving lic-is very difficult to get.Think twice before landing in Dubai if u are coming alone.If you have someone to support then it should be fine.thanks

Hi!!! I would also like to work in Dubai, there are traveling agencies here in the Philippines that process 3months tourist visa in Dubai then once you get there it's for you to find a hospital or a job. Do you think this will be an easy way for me? I only have a 6months hospital work experience and the saddest:scrying: thing is that most recruitment agencies here want at least 2years experience, do you think I could easily land a job in Dubai? Won't they consider my license in the US (RN) instead of my experience?

Hi! I try to check for some info, I hope this will help. Check on Dubai Center for Special Needs, Welcare Hospital.Goodluck!

Hi! Hospitals here will not consider your US license, what is important for them is you have the experience, you have enough knowledge and you can easily adapt to the environment. Why not continue working there for at least a year to learn more. I dont want to discourage you but this place is not as good as you are expecting, so be prepared.

Thank you flyinghigh for enligthening me!!!:idea: Okay I'll just focus myself and wait for my petition in the US, I just felt sad with this retrogression issue:o . US is the right place for nurses w/ or w/o experience, as long as you passed the exams needed and you are willing to work in a long term care or a rehab facilities, and i am more than willing to work there due to limited hospital experience. Mabuhay USA!!!:monkeydance:

Hospitals are willing to petition (not necessarily sponsor) even w/o much exp. or even none at all. Some hospitals even like it more if you haven't done any training or took a nursing job in the Philippines because they won't have to "re-train" you; the nurse doesn't have to "unlearn" anything she picked up.

They like to train you from scratch w/c is a lot easier than having the nurse unlearn some things.

You won't get this if going through agencies in the Phil. though. They will tell you otherwise.
