Work as a nurse in the Dutch healthcare​

Join our unique programme for EU / EEA nurses

We designed a unique programme for nurses to help you integrate in the Netherlands, because we believe that the differences in language, culture, habits and working methods should not get in the way of pursuing your dream nursing career in the Netherlands.

Dutch language for a successful nursing career

To be successful as a nurse in Netherlands it is crucial that you understand not only what the patient or resident means, but also what the doctor says and what your colleague wants to tell you when transferring shifts. You must be able to communicate with your patient in the same way as your colleague nurse with a Dutch diploma. This requires much more than everyday Dutch. Eduployment’s carefully developed language programme takes all this into account.

Testimonials

I belonged to the first group of nurses trained by Eduployment. We received excellent support from the first employer (partner Eduployment) and were able to make a good start. Some of my colleagues still work there as nurses. I always wanted to develop my nursing career in forensic psychiatry. Thanks to my good knowledge of Dutch and experience in the Dutch nursing home, I succeeded.

The support of Eduployment was very necessary, because we didn’t have any idea about the Dutch system. This support meant a lot to me, because most procedures require several steps that are difficult to solve on your own. Furthermore, the team of Eduployment has visited us during this period to talk to us about how things were going and if we still had questions. That is very nice.

It was an unforgettable experience for me as a student nurse. Sincerely, my Dutch skills weren‘t brilliant and I worried about this, but I was surrounded by friendly and helpful colleagues. Besides, patients were very kind, good- natured and great personalities as well. Working at Pleyade (a Dutch nursing home), I learnt to see the patients in a frame of holistic view.

Eduployment lets you work hard, but it pays off. During the course I’ve learned a lot! In August 2010 I took the Dutch State Exam NT2 / Program 1 (= level B1) and I passed at once. With this diploma I had a good foundation for launching my nursing career within Dutch healthcare in a responsible way.

Being clear about who does what and what you can expect from them is very important. In the Netherlands communication and (lots of) consultation is highly valued. In the Netherlands a patient can participate a lot in the decision about their treatment. Therefore, being able to speak Dutch well is a given.

I also had the possibility to follow a complementary, shortened nursing study, recommended by Eduployment. With that, next to my Lithuanian diploma I also have my Dutch nursing diploma. Through studying nursing in the Netherlands I learned a lot about the Dutch healthcare system and it also helped me perfect my Dutch.
