- Our admin team reviews uploads within 1-2 business days.

- Once the validity date passes, applying is locked until you upload a current certificate and we re-approve it.

Frequently asked questions for nurses
Do I need to verify my credentials before applying?
Yes. You must upload your professional nursing certificate from My Profile and wait for approval before you can apply for any job. Reviews take 1-2 business days. The document image is deleted permanently right after the review; we keep only the validity date, which is shown on your profile to you and to clinics. Our review is a good-faith document check, not an official verification with the Nursing Board Malaysia.
Which clinics post locum nurse jobs?
Medical clinics only. Nurse jobs from clinics outside the medical sector are filtered out of your feed, so everything you see comes from a medical clinic.
Is JomLocum free for nurses?
JomLocum is completely free for healthcare workers. There are no subscription charges and no hidden fees. Clinics pay for a subscription; you do not.
How many locum jobs can I apply for?
You can apply to up to 10 jobs per calendar date, and each date has its own quota. Every job accepts a maximum of 20 applicants; once it is full it disappears from the feed. You can only hold one confirmed job per date. If a clinic hires you for a day, your other applications for that same date are withdrawn automatically.
How does payment work?
Pay is agreed directly between you and the clinic. JomLocum does not process worker payments. The clinic pays you on the day, or as agreed when you confirm the locum.
Can I cancel a job after a clinic confirms me?
A confirmed job can be cancelled from Job History, but only before its start time. Cancelling an upcoming job counts toward a limit of 5 per 30 days. Cancelling on the job day counts as a serious strike (maximum 3 per 30 days, shared with no-shows). Going over either limit suspends applying for 5 days.
Can I attach a resume to my applications?
You can upload a resume as a PDF up to 5MB. It stays private: only a clinic you have applied to can view it, and only while your application exists.
