Employer FAQs
Common questions from employers hiring healthcare workers for Ireland.
How quickly can Indian nurses get NMBI registration for Ireland?
The NMBI (Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland) has a dedicated overseas registration pathway. For Indian BSc and GNM nurses with 1+ year post-qualification experience, the assessment typically takes 6–8 weeks from complete documentation submission. The NMBI has recognized Indian nursing council qualifications since 2019 under the WHO/ICN mutual recognition framework. We prepare all documents and submit on the candidate's behalf.
Do Indian nurses need IELTS for Ireland?
Most Indian nursing graduates who completed their degree in English-medium institutions are exempt from IELTS. The NMBI accepts a declaration of English-language instruction as evidence. Graduates from non-English-medium institutions will need IELTS Academic (overall 7.0) or OET (B grade minimum). We assess each candidate's language evidence during screening so there are no surprises during the NMBI registration process.
Can you supply nurses for private nursing homes and disability services as well as HSE?
Yes. We supply to HSE hospitals, voluntary hospitals (St Vincent's, Mater), private hospital groups (Blackrock Health, Bon Secours), private nursing homes (HIQA-registered), and Section 38/39 disability and mental health organizations. HIQA-registered nursing homes have specific staffing ratio requirements — we provide candidates briefed on HIQA standards and person-centered care frameworks.
What salary can we offer Irish nursing positions?
HSE staff nurses earn €32,000–€55,000+ under the HSE consolidated pay scales (2026 agreement). Private hospitals and nursing homes pay competitively at or slightly above HSE rates to attract candidates. Healthcare Assistants earn €26,000–€35,000. We advise on current Siptu and INMO negotiated rates and help employers position offers competitively.
Can nurses bring family to Ireland?
Yes. After obtaining an Employment Permit, nurses can apply to bring their spouse (who also receives a work permit under the Join Family scheme) and dependent children. Ireland has excellent public schools, universal public healthcare (eligible after 1 year residency), and a strong Indian diaspora community, making it a popular long-term destination for healthcare workers.
