Nursing Jobs Abroad: Work As A Nurse In The Netherlands

In a lot of countries finding a decent job in healthcare is hard. That’s exactly why Eduployment offers foreign nurses a chance at nursing jobs abroad. In the Netherlands to be exact.

A nursing career abroad starts with building a strong foundation in your new healthcare system. Eduployment prepares you through intensive Dutch language training and professional guidance before you gain practical experience in Dutch long-term care. After gathering relevant Dutch work experience and completing your agreed commitment period, you can determine how you want to develop further. Your next step may include further education, specialisation or applying for positions in other healthcare sectors, such as hospitals.

More on the educational programme

You can’t excel in nursing jobs abroad when you don’t comprehend the client’s needs. Therefore, it’s essential you’ll learn to understand the Dutch language and how to express yourself. So the educational programme starts with an introductory course in which you’ll dive into the most important words and expressions. After that, you’ll be able to join a Dutch healthcare facility in the Netherlands for 4 months to get acquainted with your future colleagues and clients.

During this period, you’ll perform some Activities of Daily Living (ADL) for residents at one of the nursing homes of our partners. We arrange your housing and offer you a competitive salary while you still have plenty of time to explore the country and overthink your decision to work abroad as a nurse in the Dutch healthcare organization.

The next step

To continue at Eduployment, means to proceed to the next step: an advanced course in which you’ll continue to work on your language skills until you have reached the required level to pass the mandatory state examination, which is a requirement for applying for obligated nurse registration.

Now all your hard work pays off and you can benefit from all the career opportunities while we’re still offering you programmes for personal and professional growth as a nurse.

Real stories from our students

Bigyan Paramita Pattanaik

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.

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.

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

Ana Munaiz

“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.”

Sylvia Agarici

“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!”

Matthias Christen

“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.”

Tonia Karapidaki

“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.”

Altea Koutsiouki

“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!”

Inês Ramos

“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.”

Asta Kuodiene

“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.”

Ágnes Hajas

“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!”

Alberto Soto

“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.”
