Hello everyone, My name is Priyanka Sharma, 25, female, from India. I have experience working in a hospital in India as an ICU nurse. I am currently looking for nursing job opportunities in the UAE. I would appreciate any advice on CV tips, job search strategies, or guidance on applying to hospitals and clinics in the region.
I am Mr Sami Hassan, legal advisor staying in Dubai.
Mrs Priyanka, since you are seeking nursing opportunities in the UAE, here are some practical steps to strengthen your job search:
-
CV tips: Highlight your ICU experience clearly, emphasize certifications, and include any specialized skills (e.g., critical care procedures, patient monitoring systems). Keep your CV concise but achievement-focused.
-
Licensing: To work as a nurse in Dubai, you must obtain a Dubai Health Authority (DHA) license or equivalent (MOH/DOH depending on the emirate). Begin the application early, as it is a mandatory requirement.
-
Job search strategies: Apply directly through hospital career portals (e.g., Mediclinic, NMC, Aster, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi) and reputable recruitment agencies specializing in healthcare. LinkedIn is also widely used by recruiters in Dubai.
-
Networking: Attend healthcare job fairs or professional events in Dubai, as personal connections often help in securing interviews.
-
Interview preparation: Be ready to discuss your ICU experience with specific examples, showing adaptability and patient care skills.
👉 Please send me a private message to arrange a visit to my office, where I can guide you step by step on licensing, CV review, and connecting with the right hospitals and clinics in the UAE.
