How to A Nigerian Nurses Can Work As a Nurse In Netherlands

Unread post by Kunle Emmanuel »

The Netherlands is a great place to work as a nurse, and at the moment, it is really in need of more nursing staff as well.

That’s not just because of coronavirus: there was a nursing shortage in the Netherlands well before that. So, if you’ve been thinking about making a move to the Netherlands to work as a nurse, now is a great time to do so!

It is no secret that there is a global shortage of skilled nurses. According to the ICN (International Council of Nurses), filling the global shortfall of these professionals will require up to 13 million nurses in the future.

The Netherlands is a fantastic area to work as a nurse, and it is in desperate need of more nurses right now. This isn't solely due to the coronavirus; the Netherlands had a nursing shortage long before that.

If you're a foreign nurse who wants to work in the Netherlands, you must have/be:

Basic Requirements
You must satisfy the following prerequisites before you can begin working as a nurse in the Netherlands:
  • A European nursing degree is required. If you have a nursing degree from a country other than Europe, you must get it validated by the International Credential Evaluation Service (IDW). The validation procedure can take up to four weeks to complete.
  • You must also have a strong knowledge of the English or German languages, at least at the A2 level.
    You are required to have a valid working permit in the Netherlands
  • Under the Individual Healthcare Act, certain healthcare professions have a protected title. Nurses, doctors, midwives are examples of professions included in the Individual Healthcare Act You must register in the BIG register if yours has a protected title. Patients are protected by the BIG registry from professional misconduct and medical errors.
The BIG registration spells forth exactly what a healthcare practitioner is allowed to perform and what they are not allowed to do. For example, whether a healthcare worker is permitted to administer particular injections or execute specific procedures. Likewise, you need to satisfy the following requirements:

You hold a professional credential from a reputable organization
You don't have work limitations

The registry is a central, official database of healthcare practitioners maintained by the Ministry of Health, Welfare, and Sport (VWS).

The Netherlands Immigration For Nurses
You must apply for a Netherlands work visa if you intend to work in the Netherlands for more than 90 days. A work visa for the Netherlands is a residence permit granted to foreign nationals who wish to work in the country. In many situations, you must also get a work permit in addition to your Dutch residency visa.

Temporarily Work In Netherlands

Do you hold an EU diploma or certificate and want to work as a healthcare professional in the Netherlands on a temporary basis? If your profession has a protected title, you must apply for authorization to provide services on a temporary and occasional basis. You have the option of registering in the BIG, but it is not essential.

The European Professional Card is open to pharmacists, physiotherapists, and nurses (EPC). This authorization is only good for a year. Once you have an authorization, you can begin working. Professional liability insurance is also required.

Re-registration

Every five years, you must re-register in the BIG register to show you still meet the standards for your profession. To do so, you must have the necessary work experience or education. Each profession has its own set of standards (in Dutch). You will be deregistered and unable to practice your profession if you do not re-register or if you re-register too late.

So, how do you become a nurse in the Netherlands?

The procedure for becoming a nurse in the Netherlands as an international person is pretty complicated, which is why we wanted to partner with EMTG on this — everything is so much simpler with them. But it’s always important to know your alternatives, so to the best of our ability, we’ve gathered government information on becoming a nurse in the Netherlands with a foreign diploma.

Do I need to speak Dutch to work as a nurse in the Netherlands?

Absolutely you do. It makes sense that when you’re helping patients- people who are in a vulnerable state, quite often- that it’s important for you to be able to speak their native language. Accordingly, before you register with the BIG, you need to have proof that you can speak Dutch at a B1 level.

The nice thing about coming to the Netherlands with EMTG is that there is a language school included in the programme aimed specifically at healthcare professionals- which of course is not the case with regular Dutch courses.

The easiest way to register as a nurse in the Netherlands
Now, this might all sound pretty complicated to you- which is fair enough, it sounds complicated to us as well. The EMTG recruitment agency will make this whole process much easier and seamless, removing the need for you to painstakingly Google Translate approximately a million forms (we love Dutch bureaucracy).

The first step depends on whether your nursing diploma is from the EU. If it’s not, you need to get it validated by Nuffic or IDW. If you don’t need to do this step, proceed straightaway to step two, getting that CV up to scratch.

That’s the first thing you’ll be sending to EMTG, and it’s crucial to make a good first impression- as with any instance in your life where you have to send a CV to someone (look at us giving pro tips away for free).

Make sure you haven’t left any awkward spelling errors or grammar mistakes anywhere, as well, that’s always helpful. You should send your spick-and-span CV over to [email protected] once you’re ready to go. It can be in Dutch or English, whichever you prefer.

Then, EMTG will contact you about your application, and let you know if you’re eligible for going further in the process (more on the requirements necessary in the next section, stay with us).

If you are a suitable candidate, EMTG will interview you via Skype or face-to-face at their headquarters to get to know you a bit better. If you’re accepted, you’ll move onto the next phase of the process: the Dutch course.
