The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland has launched new guidance for nurses and midwives from outside the EU who are applying to join the Register and work in Ireland.

The document, which has been circulated to stakeholders and published on the NMBI website, sets out the steps to recognition of qualifications and subsequent registration. It also provides answers to applicants' most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).

NMBI Director of Registration Ray Healy said: “We have consulted widely, including with Migrant Nurses Ireland and the INMO, on how best to assist applicants from outside the EU. This document is the result of that engagement and is being shared with stakeholders so that we can constantly update it as and when new queries arise.”
