Iam in final year of bsc nursing..my question is can I work in Dubai as a nurse without experience? I heard the recently the regulation regarding 2 year mandatory experience was changed ! So can I apply for dha exam without experience

Hello there,

Yes, as a final-year BSc Nursing student, you can apply for the DHA (Dubai Health Authority) exam and work as a nurse in Dubai without prior work experience.

The DHA has introduced a "Fresher Category" that allows recent graduates to apply for licensure without the earlier mandatory two years of experience. However, you must meet certain requirements:

• You should have a BSc in Nursing or a Diploma in Nursing of at least 18 months duration.

• A valid nursing license from your home country or where you last practiced is needed.

• A Good Standing Certificate from your nursing council or licensing authority issued within the last six months is required.

Although fresh graduates can apply for the DHA license, many healthcare employers may require you to undergo on-the-job training or a probation period to meet their standards.

To apply, you need to register on the DHA portal, submit the required documents for verification, and schedule the licensing exam.

Make sure all your documents are accurate and current to avoid delays.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
