How does it work?
Whether you are an EU-resident already packed with a nursing degree or a student trying to obtain one, it all starts with an introductory course in which you will master the basics of the Dutch language. After you passed the introductory course, we’d like you to join us in the Netherlands so you can familiarise yourself with your future colleagues and clients in the nursing homes.

During your 6 months internship, you’ll have the opportunity to figure out whether our nursing jobs in the Netherlands are the right fit for you while the development of your Dutch language skills continues. When they are the right fit, you will advance into the follow-up course.
For certified nurses
After completing the language course for beginners, we invite you to come to the Netherlands for a paid introductory period. During these 5 months period, you will get used to the protocols in Dutch healthcare by performing “Activities of daily life” for our clients. Of course, this will not be for nothing. In addition to a fixed salary, we arrange your accommodation and you also receive extras and excellent coaching.
