* Bachelor degree in nursing or its equivalent (three- year diploma in nursing after high school).
* Valid professional license from home country.
* Minimum of two years clinical nursing experience in a recognized health care facility.
* Being in contact with clinical practice for the last one year.

Applicants with total clinical experience (between 18 month and 2 years ) may apply for licensure where they will undergo training for six months under direct supervision, and after passing SCH licensing examination they will be eligible for licensing .

Every health practitioner and employer has a legal and ethical responsibility for any document he/she submit to the department therefore make sure that all documents submitted for evaluation match those submitted for verification, in case of any discrepancy the application will be revoked.
