\nFinding nursing jobs can be a hard thing. In some countries healthcare vacancies are scarce and/or heavily underpaid. However, that is not the case in the Netherlands. In face, there is even a shortage of good nursing staff in Holland. As an international nurse recruitment agency Eduployment tries to fill that gap by offering various nursing jobs with good working conditions and competing salaries according to Dutch standards.

Are you an internationally qualified EU nurse looking to start your nursing career in the Netherlands? Eduployment provides a complete programme with Dutch language training, guidance for working in Dutch healthcare, support with BIG registration and direct employment with a Dutch partner healthcare organisation. Your Dutch career starts by gaining practical experience in long-term care. Once you have gained relevant experience and completed your agreed commitment period, you may continue your career through specialisation or applying for positions in other healthcare sectors, including hospitals.

Both EU students and already certified nurses got their own programme. Click the appropriate button below and learn all about your program or read on for a short summary of what to expect.\n

\nThe programs in short\n

\nAs an international nurse recruitment agency we try to get you your dream job, but we also try to provide the best care possible. Therefore it’s crucial our nurses are able to understand a client’s needs and whishes. That’s why both programs start with an introductory language course in which you’ll learn the most important Dutch words, phrases and nursing idioms.

If there are enough applicants this course will be given in your own home country. If not, we can discuss following the course elsewhere. The introductory language course is also free of charge, except for the mandatory study-app (€25). After completing the course, we invite you over to the Netherlands for an internship (EU students) or a paid introduction period (certified nurses):\n

\nThe internship for Erasmus students\n

\n

Senior year EU nursing students follow our Erasmus+ Internship program. For approximately 6 months you will be performing activities of daily living for our clients. During this time free housing is arranged by our international nurse recruitment agency and you’ll also get a scholarship to cover for your costs and earn you some extras to spend in your spare time.

The introduction period for certified nurses

Before coming over for your paid introduction period, certified nurses first follow an intensive introductory language course. After that, you will be caring for our clients with your future colleagues while getting accustomed to our healthcare protocols for approximately 5 months. During this time we will already start paying you a competitive salary with extra payments for working irregular hours and you’ll also be able to benefit from subsidized housing.

\nThe next step\n

\n

EU nursing students will have to decide after 6 months if working in the Netherlands suits them. If it does, they can apply for the commitment program which offers many advantages. If it doesn’t, you can always quit. No strings attached. However, certified nurses already signed up for the commitment program and cannot stop in between.

After your internship or introduction period, you’ll follow more advanced courses in which you will learn even more about the Dutch language and our healthcare protocols. We’ll prepare you in the best way we can for passing a state exams which is required for a Dutch nurse registration. With that registration, you’ll be able to apply for all the jobs our international nurse recruitment agency has to offer.

As a nurse, I was looking for an opportunity to work in the Netherlands, and Eduployment made that dream come true. They supported me at every step of my journey and gave me the opportunity to learn Dutch, including the language of nursing.

\n

Through Eduployment, I got a job in the Dutch healthcare system, and they continue to support me at every step of my career. I truly appreciate the guidance, encouragement, and dedication of the entire team.

\n

Thank you to the whole Eduployment team! Because of your support, I am where I am today.

“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 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!”

“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.

“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.”
