You need experience my dear at least a year. Just inquire to any hiring hospital that you know there in Manila.

I am also an OR nurse with 26 yrs experience. i am thinking about Dubai also. How did you get recruited there and did you have to pass their board of nursing exams?

Thank you

That was almost 17 years ago when I started to work in Dubai. I also worked in England and now currently working here in USA... What do you mean, are you planning to move to Dubai? Dubai needs experienced nurses, he/she must be board passer to country of origin. There's no board exam going to Dubai. Once you are licensed, you can apply on line through UAE websites. I mentioned previously the websites for hospitals there in Dubai.

Hello!

I've read the last few posts and I was vacationing in abu dhabi and dubai just 2 weeks ago and fell in love with it!! the weather is absolutely amazing and the culture is fascinating!! I'm from Canada and hoping to work down there within the next year or so! I'm just wondering how the treatment was within the hospitals on nurses? Just a question considering I'm a young female nurse :nuke: Also how do I get started? should I be looking into recruitment agencies or should I directly contact hospitals in abu dhabi or dubai?? thanks

I bet you are a fresh graduate?

Theres no way in UAE can employed nurses without experience? just try your luck until you got a sound clinical experience.Advice! experience is your passport to overseas emplyment.Is like going to war without amunition?

Its a universal rule..now if your trying to find a job in the Philippines..try hard and and hard until you can find one? tough life...that is the reality.

Hi UKrgn2008

I actually have 2 years experience nursing. I've recently been in contact with a recruitment agency for the UAE but they want me to sign on for 2 years and I'm not sure that I want to do that! I would rather a locum or a one year contract! are you currently working in the UAE? is there any advice you can give me re: recruitment agencies??

thanks

I am an American nurse and would also love to hear about UAE nursing. It seems like quite a few of the posts are from 2008-2009, and I am wondering how much the nursing climate has changed there. There also seems to be differing opinions about what tests you need to take. Some posts have stated that if you hold a US RN license you don't need to take additional exams there. Does anyone have a good contact for a recruitment service that works with international nurses? Just curious as I would like to go to the UAE when my contract is done here in 2013.

Hi

I am a qualified nurse from UK with 2 years experience. I am going to work in Dubai as a registered nurse but I do not much about living cost there. I have heard that the rent of a property is high. Does anyone know about this matter? How much is the real salary for british nurses? With receiving the salary is living cost affordable or not.

Any other help would be appreciated.

Thanks alot.
