Travel Nurse Dubai/uae - Advice Please

I moved your post to the International Froum where it is more appropriate. The travel forum is more for nurses looking to do travel contracts in the US.

You will get more response here.

If you do a search here, on this forum, you will find several posts about this same location, just within the past few months.

I know a very reputable recruitment company who deploy nurses to the UAE. It's a husband & wife team, not a big corporate company, and they are both nurses who have worked for many years in the Middle East themselves. If you want their contact details, let me know and I'll send to you via PM

Hi, there! I am working in UAE and I think you dont need to go for an agency. There r many hospitals that will do overseas reqruitment.
R u a nurse or a mifwife and why did u chose Dubai and not Abu Dhabi? It is a tax free place and american and british nurses are paid muuuuch better than us, eastern europeans.

I am from Bulgaria and I 've been here for more than 7 years. I am working in Abu Dhabi and I, personaly love it. Abu Dhabi is the capital and the emirate of Abu Dhabi is much bigger. The city of Abu Dhabi is smaller than Dubai though. Abu Dhabi is quite, cheeper and u dont spend much time on traveling. Dubai, though my family is there I dont like to go there. Bad traffic, long distances, very expensive taxies and there r so many places where u spend ur money... Another thing is the accommodation. More expensive than in Abu Dhabi.
Hospitals (government, only) usually provide u with an accommodation or give u allowance and u take whatever appartment u like. Than, they give u(most of the cases) furniture allowance. Ur salary is without any taxes, so u make lots of money. There r maaaany brithish and american nurses here and the salary depends on what hospital u r working and which department u r in. We dont normally ask each other about our salaries, coz of the racism (the worst here) in the salaries. Brithish and american nurses will take 3-6 times more thn us, Between 10- 18000 dhs. 1$ is 3.68 dhs. I read somewhere a comparison between salaries in Canada and here. The numbers were smthg like in Canada-13000$ a year (savings), here 30000$ savings...
I am sure u will like it. I came for 2 years and 7 passed without feeling it.
Many bars, drinking, beautiful weather, except august and september...
Menagement r always happy to have western staff on board and they r protective...
Hope this was helpful.
