AB  - The purpose of this study was to explore occupational stress as perceived by Romanian Nurse Managers working for at least 1 year and a half in private hospitals in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Through, a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, the study aims to illuminate the lived work stress experiences pertaining exclusively to this population and the research findings might not apply elsewhere. Data collection was carried out by employing in-depth, semi-structured, face to face interviews with each participant, after gaining the participant’s consent and guaranteeing to respect their privacy and anonymity. The findings of the study suggested  that  Romanian  nurse  managers  considered  their  job  increasingly stressful and more challenging than back home. They perceived occupational stress as a complex phenomenon, linked to four major themes: organizational factors, workload, interpersonal relationships, Abu Dhabi, a stressful workplace.
