calling MIddle East Pinoy nurses.

blabber, RN · Sep 11, 2007

Hi,, Is there any Pinoy Nurses here who work or working in Middle East like Saudi, dubai or qatar?
Just want to know your experiences there..hehehe

Hi! I'm a Filipino nurse working here in the Mid East specifically in KSA. Nurses are very in demand here in the ME and the pay can be quiet good depending on which hospital/company will hire you. I am working in one of the high paying hospital/company here in the ME. I earn almost 10x more than my previous salary back in the PI.

There are a lot of agency in the PI that are hiring nurses to go to the ME but make sure that they are licensed by POEA. Research the hospital first before you accept any job offers.

Another friend of mine who works here in KSA before is now in Abu Dhabi (Sheikh Khalifa Hospital) and she enjoys working there more than here in KSA. I guess, it really boils down to your personality. If you're the type who loves total freedom, then KSA is not for you because this is a very strict country. But if you really don't care much about total freedom and all you care about is earning big bucks then KSA is the place for you. You'll be able to save a lot and prices here a cheaper compare to the prices in other ME countries.

Hope I was able to help you in a way.

PM me if you want more info.
