Work for EU nurses in the Netherlands
In many European countries, building a successful nursing career can be difficult. That’s why more and more nurses and assistant nurses are looking for well-paid nursing jobs abroad. In the Netherlands, there is a growing shortage of healthcare professionals, which means there are many opportunities for motivated EU nurses like you.
Dutch healthcare organisations are committed to delivering the best care to their clients. Even if some clients can speak English, as a nurse you must truly understand their needs, and that requires speaking Dutch. That’s why Eduployment has developed specialised programmes for nursing professionals, giving you the language, tools, and support you need to successfully work as a nurse in the Netherlands.
For English-speaking nurses, it will be easier to follow our online Dutch language course.
