Since 2002, this has been the Eduployment way to a secure future for those looking at nursing jobs in the Netherlands for foreigners or planning to work abroad as a nurse. Our nursing job programmes are built on equal opportunity, trust, clarity and care, and partnerships that matter.
Before you land a nursing job, you need to start with our tried and trusted Dutch language course (online). This is the case for all our programmes.
Are you an EU-resident already holding a bachelor’s degree in nursing, or a student nurse on your way to obtaining one? This course will help you master the language up to level A2 (for the Erasmus+ programme) and B1+ (for the CV-Boosting programme). You will also be able to continue to level B2 later on.
After completing the course, we welcome you to the Netherlands to begin your career in Dutch healthcare. You will start familiarizing yourself with your colleagues and clients in one of our partner healthcare institutions.
Starting a nursing career in the Netherlands can take different forms depending on your background and experience. Our programmes guide nurses at every stage. Erasmus students exploring opportunities in Dutch healthcare, and qualified bachelor or assistant nurses ready to begin their professional journey in the Netherlands.
First, you will follow our online Dutch language course, from the comfort of your home, up to level B1+. Once you successfully compete it, we will welcome you to the Netherlands. You then commence your nursing career in Dutch healthcare, start earning your rewarding salary with extras, and enjoy your own fully furnished accommodation that we prepare for you before you arrive. All of this comes with continued support and excellent coaching from Eduployment.

First, you will follow our online Dutch language course, from the comfort of your home, up to level A2. Once you successfully compete it, your 6 to 12 months Erasmus+ internship in the Netherlands can commence. It includes accommodation and allowances, you’ll have the opportunity to explore whether our nursing jobs in the Netherlands are the right fit for you, while your Dutch language skills continue to improve.
If by month 4 you decide that a nursing career in Holland is something you want to pursue, you will transition to our CV-Boosting programme for bachelor nurses or assistant nurses. These programmes prepare you for work as a nurse in Dutch healthcare through a direct employment contract.
You will continue to work on your language skills until you reach level B1, which is required for applying for registration as a nurse in the Netherlands. Thanks to your strong language training and preparation, your nursing career in the Netherlands can then really take off, with opportunities in nursing homes, hospitals, or other healthcare institutions.

“I think Eduployment is a good option for people who don’t know the language and want to live and work in the Netherlands. Because it has an online course with flexibility that adapts to individual rhythms. It also offers accommodation, depending on the city it can be a big challenge to find something on your own. In short, Eduployment gives the boost to start your life in a new country.”
“If you’re a nurse looking for a seamless move to the Netherlands, Eduployment is your ultimate partner! From day one, they were by my side—starting with my very first Dutch lesson, guiding me through the BIG registration process, and even helping me secure my own apartment in the Netherlands. Moving abroad can be overwhelming, but with Eduployment’s support every step of the way, the transition felt smooth and stress-free. Their team made what seemed daunting into an exciting journey!”
“The teachers and management of Eduployment were always available to answer questions. I had some difficulties feeling at home in the Netherlands. The aftercare offered by Eduployment made this a lot easier. They guided me throughout my whole two-year contract.”
“It is pleasant that Eduployment supports me still. We recently moved into a very nice apartment. Eduployment was there to help us move. Someone even came by with a screw driver to help us assemble some cabinets, and a pipe wrench to connect the washing machine.”
“The collaboration with Εduployment started about two years ago. Within a year I was able to speak and understand Dutch at a good level. After arriving in the Netherlands, the challenges I faced were many, but step by step and with patience, I can proudly say that one year later I have managed to achieve many of my goals and, most importantly, I have slowly gained the confidence I needed to grow professionally! During this time, Εduploymet supported me every time I needed it. Here’s to what’s to come next!”
“Dutch is a bit difficult at first, but it is possible! You have to focus on it. Learning Dutch should be your job; you should spend a lot of time learning a new language. I’m glad I decided to learn Dutch with Eduployment.”
“I was among the first group to be trained by Eduployment. We received excellent guidance and were able to make a good start with our Dutch employer. Some of my colleagues are still working there. I always wanted to work in forensic psychiatry. Thanks to my good knowledge of Dutch, help from Eduployment and the start in the Dutch nursing home, I succeeded.”
“I really like this job, because here every day is a challenge and that’s what I like. After I started, I passed the national knowledge test for triage assistant within five weeks. My audits are good and, in the meantime, I have also obtained my diploma. I am very satisfied with what I have achieved. The free language course from Eduployment was a very good investment!”
“The support of Eduployment was much needed, because we had no 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 Eduployment team visited us a lot in the beginning to talk to us about how things were going and if we had any questions. That is very nice.”
“Eduployment has helped me get through this period very well, by offering lots of practical help, personal support and a solid track. Also, my colleagues who entered this programme with me in 2003 have meant a lot to me and we still keep in touch.”
Nursing jobs at our partner healthcare institutions provide care and assistance for clients across the Netherlands. This includes support for the elderly to continue living independently at home or in live-in locations, as well as caring for those recovering after hospitalisation.
Our partner institutions include nursing homes, hospitals and educational organisations. Many actively participate in research on the use of technology in healthcare and nursing. Nurses working there are involved, respectful, and give genuine attention to their clients – striving every day to make them feel well cared for.
