Why Process Your Applications During Ramadan

(Estimated reading time: 2 minutes)

Although there are many Filipino nurses working in the Middle East, you can generally expect for hiring to slow down during the holy month. Here is why Ramadan is the best time to process your licensure exam applications.

Ramadan begins on May in 2018. Muslim countries, such as those in the Middle East, they refrain from various activities. Muslims celebrate the end of the holy month this year on June 15. Although there are many Filipino nurses working in the Middle East, you can generally expect for hiring to slow down during the holy month.

However, this also makes this the best time to process your applications. All Middle East countries require you to go through a document verification process with DataFlow.

Organizations that use DataFlow for their credential evaluation include Department of Health – Abu Dhabi, Dubai Health Authority and Oman Medical Specialty Board. In addition, the Ministry of Health – UAE, National Health Regulatory Authority (Qatar), and Saudi Commission for Health Specialties.

It’s better to start you application now. It’s because the application procedure requires time and no point in waiting for the Middle East to start hiring again.

By the time that Ramadan ends, hospitals and other healthcare establishments in the Middle East will resume hiring and you would have all your requirements ready by then. Being the first in line can make a difference when looking for work as a nurse abroad.V
