Despite the claims, nurses are not badly paid - The Irish News

If there are any nurses out there from Ireland I would like to hear from you. I am an American nurse with 30 years experience, currently working NICU.

Basically, I want to a recruiter to see this and offer me a job. Aug 28, '01 by nightingale.

I just noticed your post. I too have been interested in working in Ireland. What I have found out from colleagues is that nurses there do more of the CNA type of responsibiliites such. I have written to an Irish hospital who said they would recruit me. This is something I may do anyway as a long term visit to my families roots. I am of Irish decent.

I worked in Ireland and not through an agency. I went to Dublin to visit a friend and went to the Irish Nursing Board. They gave me a package which I brought back to the States, filled out, sent back to Ireland and I was given an Irish Nursing License in about two months.

There is much more but I won't try to explain it all here. Last edit by Silverdragon on Feb 24, ' Please do not post email addresses for your own safety.

It's just frustrating that after working hard to pass those exams I end up uncertain about my hope of working in the USA. Feb 24, '08 by Silverdragon , RN Admin. Quote from oneproudigorot can a filipino nurse with a few months of experience work in Ireland? Feb 24, '08 by suzanne4. Add to what Anna has posted and you will still need to go thru their licensing process as well as immigration process to be able to work there. And they essentially will hire those from their own country and then those that hold a EU passport over anyone else.

So unless you have years of experience in an area that they require help in, it is now going to be very hard to be sponsored for a visa that will permit you to work there. I am sure that you have seen several posts by Filipinos that are now there, but they went over there several years ago, and things have changed as far as visas.
