A Letter of Intent for Nurses is commonly used in the Nigerian healthcare sector as an initial step in the nursing recruitment process. This document is typically issued after initial interviews and before the formal employment contract, serving as a bridge between preliminary discussions and final employment agreements. It outlines key terms such as position, basic compensation, and professional requirements while complying with Nigerian labor laws and nursing regulations. The document is particularly valuable when recruiting for healthcare facilities that require a structured hiring process, when dealing with international nurse recruitment, or when the final employment terms need additional negotiation or approval. While not a binding employment contract, it provides both parties with a clear understanding of the intended employment relationship and helps ensure compliance with Nigerian healthcare sector requirements.
