Working as a nurse in Ireland is highly covetable; Irish Nurses are considered the best trained in the world so to work and learn beside them is an invaluable experience. The benefits of working in Nursing in Ireland are also extensive. Including but not limited to: fully paid holidays, paid maternity leave, paid educational support and MANY more!
Firstly you need to go through a two-part process, Recognition, and then registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland, known as the NMBI.
Step 1 -
Set up a profile on MyNMBI - Select Overseas Registration. You will need to answer a series of questions which will categorise your application.
Step 2 -
You will see a list of documents to upload.
These include:
Step 3 -
You will then be asked to enter details of your professional experience since qualifying. You will see an employment form that you will need to download and send to your employers for completion.
You will then be asked to enter the details of your relevant qualifications. You will see a qualification form that you will need to download and send to your college for completion. The college will also need to provide you with the transcript for the qualification.
Step 4 -
You then need to save your application and when the documents have been returned to you from the college and employers, you will log back in and upload them. You will need to obtain a certified copy of the transcript first before you upload.
You must check all your entries and documentation very carefully before proceeding. You can save and edit your application. Do not submit an incomplete application as this will lead to delays.
When you have checked that all your details and documents are correct, you will then complete a declaration and proceed to pay the fee.
Step 5 -
When your application is submitted it will be queued for the first assessment.
NMBI will carry out source verification on certain documents and carry out an administrative assessment.
If your application is incomplete, you will be contacted by email to provide the missing information and your application will not proceed until you have provided it.
Step 6 -
When your application is complete it will proceed to education assessment. The qualification assessor may require further information from you.
As a Nurse who trains within the EU you are under the EU directive and should achieve automatic qualification.
