I have been living in Ireland for the last 14months (my whole family lives here) and, while I don't mean to discourage you, (it truly is a very beautiful country) trying to get a nursing job here is no mean feat. I would suggest that you start applying to the Irish Nursing Board now (don't wait until you get here like I did, I'm still not working!) The Irish Nursing Board which is called An Bord Altranais will not approve your registration until they have sent a form to the college where you obtained your degree, and verified that you have taken all the required courses. I know it just seems so redundant seeing as we wouldn't have our license without having taken all the nursing courses. Anyhow, the whole process takes anywhere from 6-18months depending on who is processing your application. I tried going through a few nsg agencies (Irish and American) as I thought this might expedite the process, but to no avail. I plan on returning to the States in the meantime to do some travel nsg. I hope this hasn't put you off your dream of living in Ireland, I think everyone should try it at least once!! Good luck

Don't worry, you didn't put me off my dream. It just gives me more information to work with!
Thanks for posting,

Been working here a couple of years now and starting to get itchy feet for more travels possibly to OZ or NZ.

My buddy got a nursing job from Jobs in Ireland, Northern Ireland. Irish jobs employment site - jobs2ireland.com and I'm checking them out for nursing jobs in NZ and OZ.

Will keep you posted as to how it goes.
