How to Find a Job as a Nurse in Dubai

From a sleepy Arab emirate dependent on <a href="https://gulfnews.com/business/energy/oil-in-dubai-history--timeline-1.578333" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">oil-production</a> in the ‘90s, Dubai has developed into a multi-cultural, cosmopolitan, and <a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/urban-expeditions/green-buildings/dubai-ecological-footprint-sustainable-urban-city/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ecologically-sound</a> <a href="https://www.smartdubai.ae/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">business hub</a>. Along with its expansion, it has never ceased its demand for migrant labor, particularly for foreign-educated nurses. Is it as easy as going there on a lark and finding jobs at the drop of a hat? Of course not. So what do you need to do to find a job as a nurse in Dubai? We’ll give you the rundown. <h2>Get your credentials verified</h2> A Primary Source Verified (PSV) report from the DataFlow Group is required for your qualifications. The good news is that you can get this ahead of time with TrueProfile.io – a new service from the DataFlow Group. You need to verify your degree, <a href="https://blog.trueprofile.io/work-experience-job-abroad/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">work experience</a>, your professional license, and a Certificate of Good Standing. The last item is issued by the health regulator from the country of your most recent work experience, or from your last employer. Once you have received your TrueProof, you can now apply for an assessment. <h2>Apply with the Dubai Health Authority</h2> <figure class="wp-block-image alignnone size-large size-full wp-image-6472"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1000" height="667" src="https://production-prod-trueprofile-blogassets-origin.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/2021/03/shutterstock_429620146-1.jpg" alt="How to Find a Job as a Nurse in Dubai" class="wp-image-10395" title="How to Find a Job as a Nurse in Dubai" srcset="https://production-prod-trueprofile-blogassets-origin.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/2021/03/shutterstock_429620146-1.jpg 1000w, https://production-prod-trueprofile-blogassets-origin.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/2021/03/shutterstock_429620146-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://production-prod-trueprofile-blogassets-origin.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/2021/03/shutterstock_429620146-1-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><figcaption>Dubai is committed to fast-paced green development.</figcaption></figure> You can get your eligibility letter from the <a href="https://www.dha.gov.ae/en/pages/dhahome.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dubai Health Authority</a> after you have passed their assessment. Before that though, you need to provide them with your verified credentials – your TrueProofs. Once you’ve passed their assessment and made your payment, they’ll issue your eligibility letter. At this point, you can opt to find an employer first before fulfilling the requirements to get a license. For a more detailed information on the licensing requirements, you can read our blog on <a href="https://blog.trueprofile.io/how-to-become-a-nurse-in-dubai/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">How to Become a Nurse in Dubai</a>. <h2>Increase your visibility to employers and headhunters</h2> Digital CV Profile Visibility preferences. Finding a job is just like selling wares at a virtual marketplace. You have to advertise that you want to get a job. Since you already have a TrueProof, turn your Profile Visibility preferences to Public on your <a href="https://www.trueprofile.io/member/benefits" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Digital CV</a>. Recruiters can readily view your information and contact you if you fit what they need.  Don’t forget to make sure you’ve fully built your <a href="https://blog.trueprofile.io/build-a-digital-resume/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Digital CV</a> so that employers get a good understanding of your skills and experience. <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="829" height="1024" src="https://production-prod-trueprofile-blogassets-origin.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/2022/04/Home-dashboard-7-829x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-14024" srcset="https://production-prod-trueprofile-blogassets-origin.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/2022/04/Home-dashboard-7-829x1024.png 829w, https://production-prod-trueprofile-blogassets-origin.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/2022/04/Home-dashboard-7-243x300.png 243w, https://production-prod-trueprofile-blogassets-origin.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/2022/04/Home-dashboard-7-768x948.png 768w, https://production-prod-trueprofile-blogassets-origin.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/2022/04/Home-dashboard-7.png 1061w" sizes="(max-width: 829px) 100vw, 829px" /></figure></div> Link your TrueProofs to your LinkedIn account.
