Nursing Jobs and Study in Dublin - Ireland

Filed under: Studying in Ireland — admin @ 11:30 pm

Information on Visas and Work permits in Ireland and Employment and Recruitment agencies Ireland can be hard to find because of all the different companies out there. Unemployment in Ireland is on the rise - big time, so it may not be the best time to come here. Having said that, there is by and large, always a need for medical personal both in Ireland and the UK. One must realize that the qualifications from your country might not apply in the UK and Ireland. For further information on that contact the Irish Nurses Federation and other Nursing Unions in Ireland. The Irish Nurses Federation are the largest Professional Union for Nurses and Midwives with 40,000 members in all counties.

‘The INO is wholly owned by its members, who elect a governing Executive Council every two years, and administer the affairs of the Organisation through local Branch and Special Interest Group Structures. In this way every practising nurse and midwife has an opportunity to influence the development of policy in a very direct way’

Headquarters:
The Whitworth Building
North Brunswick Street
Dublin 7

Compared to other parts of Europe and the World, Irish and UK nurses are paid pretty well and are usually a short commodity, especially for specialists. Make sure you seek out a reputable company if you are going through an agent. I know you can apply directly to the NHS (National Health Service) on their website or contact your local Nursing Organisation.

Gaelic Language schools in Connemara - Galway

Most Irish people speak ONLY English. Very few of my friends speak a second language, it is just not in us. If you are coming to Ireland without being able to speak English(which is highly unlikely since you are reading this), then bring someone along who does.

Otherwise, a good tip might be to book into a Hostel for the first 2 nights in Ireland and find a traveling buddy. Booking into a hotel where one of the receptionists speak your language is also an option. Otherwise, buying a good dictionary and phrase book is a must.

Alternatively, you can be the tourist that looks stupid every time he tries to explain how wonderful or horrid his Irish experience has been (hands waving in the air, making animal noises with one’s mouth)
