Temporarily Registered Nurses
Anyone who wishes to practice nursing in Ireland must be registered with An Bord Altranais (the Nursing Board) (see Annexure - D for requirements for registration by An Bord Altranais). Nurses with qualifications from India must undertake a period of supervised clinical practice in an Irish hospital before they will be eligible for full registration. An Bord Altranais issues certificates of temporary registration on the basis of which such nurses can apply for working Visas or work authorizations valid for three months. Temporarily registered nurses who do not qualify for full registration within three months will not be allowed to remain in Ireland.
