Nurse Talent Pool for GCC Hospitals
Registered Nurses, Assistant Nurses and Nursing Technicians heading to the Gulf. Register one profile and get matched with nurses vacancies at partner hospitals across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and Kuwait.
Every partner hospital hiring nurses, from one profile
Nursing is the single largest healthcare workforce in the GCC, and every Gulf regulator runs a dedicated nursing exam on the Prometric platform. Whether you trained in the Philippines, India, Pakistan, Nigeria or anywhere else, the sequence is the same: verify your documents through Dataflow, get your eligibility approved, then pass the authority's nursing MCQ exam.
The nursing exams test general adult medical-surgical nursing, fundamentals, pharmacology and drug calculation, pediatrics, obstetrics, community health and professional ethics. Most authorities use a 2–3 hour computer-based MCQ format with a pass mark around 60%.
Once you are in the pool, our placement team matches your specialty, experience and licence status against live nurses vacancies and puts your anonymised profile in front of the employer. Employers request your full profile through us, and the same team handles your licensing in parallel, so you can join before your Prometric exam is done.
