I'm having some trouble understanding the working conditions in Dubai. Everyone I ask seems to have a different answer for me, so I'm hopeful a nurse here will be able to clarify some things.
I'll be entering my 4th year BSN (Canada) very shortly and have been considering Dubai as a place to work abroad while I'm young.
I've read you need to have approximately 4 years of experience before an agency will hire you there. I've heard A) there is no tax, B) taxes are extremely high, C) pay is $1200 US per month, D) pay is double that of an RN in Canada.
Would anyone be able to elaborate on tax, pay, work experience before eligibility to work, and anything else pertaining to life in Dubai involving the nursing profession? I'm familiar with much of the culture- living conditions, marriage/single contracts, restrictive laws etc, I'm just unsure about working details.
Thanks very much. :)
