How to apply for nursing job in Dubai?

By Rahul Shaker 
I have worked as a nurse in Dubai, Middle East, so I though I would list the documents you will need while applying for a job. Getting a nursing or midwifery job in Dubai is not hard but given tons of irrelevant information that only confuses students and little guidance, most of  job seekers end up wasting their time.
There's plenty of information on nursing jobs on the Internet, but much of it gets buried under irrelevant content. So, I will talk briefly about how to apply for a nursing job in the Middle East, especially Dubai.
