Saudi Arabia is one of the largest and most developed countries in the Middle East, with a growing demand for highly skilled healthcare professionals, particularly in the field of nursing. To work as a nurse in Saudi Arabia, it is necessary to complete a rigorous registration process that involves several steps.

Step 1: Education and Qualification Requirements The first step to becoming a registered nurse in Saudi Arabia is to meet the education and qualification requirements. Candidates must have a valid nursing degree from an accredited institution and must be licensed in their country of origin. Additionally, candidates must pass an international English language proficiency test, such as the IELTS or TOEFL.

Step 2: Saudi Council for Health Specialties (SCHS) Examination Once the education and qualification requirements have been met, candidates must take the SCHS examination. This examination is designed to assess the nursing knowledge and skills of candidates and is mandatory for all nurses seeking registration in Saudi Arabia. The SCHS examination consists of written and clinical components and can be taken in the candidate’s home country or in Saudi Arabia.

Step 3: Application for Registration After passing the SCHS examination, candidates must apply for registration with the Saudi Council for Health Specialties. This involves completing an online application and submitting supporting documentation, including copies of the candidate’s nursing degree, nursing license, and English language proficiency test results.

Step 4: Fingerprint and Criminal Background Check Once the application has been received, candidates must undergo a fingerprint and criminal background check. This is to ensure that the candidate has a clean criminal record and is eligible to work as a nurse in Saudi Arabia.

Step 5: Issuance of Nursing Practice License Once the fingerprint and criminal background check have been completed and approved, the Saudi Council for Health Specialties will issue a nursing practice license. This license allows the nurse to practice nursing in Saudi Arabia and is valid for a period of two years.

In conclusion, becoming a registered nurse in Saudi Arabia requires a combination of education, examination, and application. The process is designed to ensure that only highly qualified and skilled nurses are able to practice in the country and provide high-quality patient care. Candidates who are interested in pursuing a career in nursing in Saudi Arabia are encouraged to begin the registration process as soon as possible to ensure a smooth and successful transition.
