Nursing in Abu Dhabi is a regulated profession. Hence, any nurse who intends to work in Abu Dhabi will have to first and foremost meet the requirements and apply for nurse licensure with the Health Authority—Abu Dhabi (HAAD). HAAD is the recognized sole regulatory body for all the medical related professions including Nursing.


These are the basic preliminary requirements for licensure:
1. BSN DEGREE
2. REGISTERED NURSE IN HOME COUNTRY (PRC)
3. AT LEAST TWO YEARS OF WORKING EXPERIENCE WITH ONE YEAR IN MEDICAL-SURGICAL FLOOR. (Note: Training and volunteer experience is not considered).

*** If you possess the three basic preliminary requirements stated above, then you may consider the idea to take the HAAD-RN licensure examination offered by PEARSON VUE.

Once you have passed the HAAD-RN licensure exam, you can already apply for licensure/registration with the Health Authority. You can do it on your own, or through your sponsoring hospital.
