Nursing Jobs in Ireland

Hi all,

I am Irish born and bred but did my nursing training in London. I am educated to degree level and have a band 6 F-grade post at the moment (if that means anything).

I'm coming back home and would appreciate a bit of advice about how to get a nursing job in Ireland. Are there agencies, websites, should I apply direct to hospitals? Are there many jobs available? By the way my speciality is GU medicine.

Many thanks for any help.

more agency work in Dublin however Network are a recruitment company in cork who you could contact. you need to get registered in Ireland AFAIK. They will be able to tell you if your experience in the uk is taken into consideration too.
What is GU by the way?
 
There a loads of nursing vacancies in Ireland.

Most nursing jobs are advertised in the Sunday Independent.
 
Yes GU is genitourinary and it is STDs.

I was thinking of heading back to Dublin initially and am aware that the Mater and James's are the GU specialists but am willing to work in general nursing if needs be. I'll have a look in the Independent but I just thought there might a national website advertising nursing jobs. Any ideas?

Thanks,

May
 
You should have a look on the HSE website as I think jobs are posted there also.
 
hi there

i think the best thing is to get registered on An board alantris or the nursing registry first as that can be a prolonged process

My sister did her training in the UK as well first as registered nurse and then specialized in midwifery

However the Nursing board in Ireland did'nt accept her midwifery qualifications in ireland (eventhough she was doing well to get accepted on this course in University in England ) she is now doing i think its either a 6 week or 6 month course in the Coombe in Dublin

She has'nt found it hard to get work though
Eventhough she does'nt know what hospital to join
shes working with Contract agency Nurse on Call which allows her to work in all the large hospitals in Dublin

I would guess u would have more of a choice of work in Dublin than say in the regional hospitals

One of the links http://www.nurseoncall.ie/
gives u the list of pay rates as well that u can expect with this agency

i'm sure there are other agencies as well i guess u could google it
Hope this helps

Hi there you have to register with ABA,
also check out alliance nursing agency [broken link removed]

They would also be one of the bigges agencies in Dublin, you will also find that alot of hospitals once you build up a relationship with you could offer you a permanent post.

Hi there JaneDoe, another work aholic like myself!!!:)

Belgrave wouldn't be as big as noc or alliance, both of these from my experience have contracts with all the Dublin Area Teaching Hasiptals and the private hospital hospitals.
 
hello pinky
Guess MayDay can check out the rates so between the agencies if she wants

Ya shes better off going with the larger agencies like nurse on call or alliance so as more work comes through them

as said my sis is with nurseoncall and she always seems to be working

The other link might be useful for other related jobs in the hospital

Work is so hard !!!!
 
Hi May,
There is a national nursing jobs website in Ireland. It was recently launched and has lots of nursing jobs and other relevant info. The website address is [broken link removed] You can search for jobs and if you want you can upload your CV for employers and recruiters to view
Best of luck with your search,

For what's it's worth, my present wife is a staff nurse in St. James's Hospital in Dublin.

She also works part time for an agency, Medical Recruitment Specialists, one of the biggest suppliers of agency staff to all the major hospitals. The web site is:-[broken link removed]

There is no shortage of work! Working hours are signed off, faxed in and paid within 3 or 4 days.

The link for jobs at St. James's is:-

Anybody know anything or have any experience of nursing in Australia? a company called Sales Placement are advertising nursing jobs over there. Would the experience be worthwhile or would I be better trying to gain experience here first? Need advice...thanks!
