A few years ago, the demand for nurses in Dubai was quite high. The city was looking for international nursing staff at all levels and capabilities. For the time being, it can be said that the boom days for nursing employment in the emirate are over. However, this does not mean that the nursing staff is not required at all. There are still plenty of nursing jobs in Dubai that are advertised regularly. If you apply patiently and smartly, chances are that you would find the exact right job for you.
Thus, if you are a qualified and experienced nurse and are looking to move to Dubai to work there in the medical field, you would need a lot of information on hand. Even if you are a midwife or even paramedic, you can look ahead to extremely good pay, excellent conditions of employment and many other additional bonuses and benefits that are available at most of the best international hospitals. All these incentives make it worth giving your best attempt when you are applying for a nursing job in Dubai.
To be well prepared for the application and interview, there are a few things that you must keep in mind. For instance, firstly you should know where all to look for nursing jobs in Dubai. Also, you must gather a fair idea of what sort of compensation package you should expect to be able to negotiate well with the employer. Unless you know about the current salary standards in this job in Dubai, you would not be able to demand confidently for what you rightly deserve.
Before applying for any medical job in Dubai, you must know that almost all Dubai hospitals and even those across the UAE would preferably hire British and American trained medical personnel. So, in case you have worked in any UK or US hospitals, you are already favorably positioned to land a nursing job in Dubai. However, this does not mean that trained nurses from other countries do not get hired. There is just an advantage for the British and American nurses. For any nursing job that you apply for, you would have to get your educational qualifications attested in your home country. And it is not as easy as it sounds. Once you get the qualifications attested by a notary in your country, you would need to get the notary testified by the foreign office.
While applying, you might also need to submit a copy of your passport, at least three copies of your original certificates, copies of your employment references and three copies of your current medical certificate of registration from your governing medical body to the UAE embassy in your country of origin. To get all the document details, it is advisable to get in touch with the embassy first as there might be a revision in requirements. Also, you can get in touch with the HR department of a renowned international hospital in Dubai. From there, you can get a clear idea of what all is required to work as a nurse in Dubai.
