Hi Appelsnine

It sounds like you want to nurse in Malaysia - Yes, all nurses need a liscence to practice - Malaysia has a Nursing board to which you will need to apply and register before allowed to nurse in that country. Some boards require an exam others not. There may be costs involved to get yourself placed on their register.

Nursing Board of Malaysia and Malaysia midwifery Board. Google the site and apply. The liscence is renewed annually.

Check to see if you need to apply before you leave your home town as the process can take very long. If you are applying for a job thru an agent the agent does this all for you.

Good luck

No need just walk in, put on the uniform and go clean the patients and administer their medications. JW
