Haad Dataflow Guide

PART 1 ver 1.04 SUMMARY OF THE THINGS YOU NEED SCHOOL: High School Diploma (No CAV needed) College Diploma (CAV) College Transcript of Records (CAV) RLE (CAV) PRC: Board Certificate Certificate of good standing (only 3 months validity) Board Rating PRC ID EMPLOYMENT: Certificate of Employment DATAFLOW (can be downloaded on their website) Facility Declaration form Letter of authorization CID/Security Form OTHERS: Passport Passport size photos with white background Basic Life Support Certificate (regardless of the agency, must not be expired) ACLS (optional)

First thing first and probably one of the most important, use INTERNET EXPLORER version 7, 8, or 9, if you use different browser such as chrome, firefox or IE version 10, you will not be able to proceed,

dataflow website was probably made by a dumb Arab that’s why everything is so fucked up (the grammar, spelling and everything), thus, very difficult to comprehend. It is also important to read all manuals, frequently asked questions and different instructions online or the one attached to this email to understand more about HAAD DISCLAIMER: Everything written here is based on research and testimonies from different forums, this is not an official “dataflow manual”. As such, there is no guarantee that if you follow everything written here, everything will be ok. If you have any questions or clarification, email HAAD or Dataflow, their email and contact numbers can be found on their website and good luck if they will reply to you or give you a clear answer. Previously, anyone can take HAAD-RN exam without doing anything, you can schedule right away for your exam, however, they implement a new system (October 2013) that one must accomplished their dataflow first before you can sit for an exam. Thus, everything seems to be complicated because this is something new and information regarding this is scarce. In contrast, if you have a local agency or sponsorship by an employer, I believe they will be the one to process your dataflow, I am not sure about this, ask your agency regarding this. NOTE: In uploading document/s, JPEG format is allowed for single page document but you MUST convert your files to PDF format to make it a single doc for files that has more than 1 page such as TOR and RLE. In addition, huge files cannot be uploaded so you need to resize it. Furthermore, all documents must be written in English. Finally, all documents must not be expired (PRC ID, BLS, passport, etc) Another thing, questions or blanks without asterisk (*) are optional to answer Some great website with info and discussions about HAAD: http://allnurses.com/ http://www.ofwguideforum.com Do a search on their website using this keyword “HAAD”, “dataflow” “abu dhabi” or just be creative, you know what to do For other research, best to use GOOGLE

with the employment of an individual but still depends on your company, some small hospital do not have HR department.
