I used to work in KSA and my only advice for those planning to go there is BE PREPARED.
Don't only think about the money that you'll be earning. The culture in KSA is very different. The mentality of Saudis can be degrading and demeaning sometimes so before applying, ask yourself first if you are really ready to go there.
If you think you are, then try and look for agencies that are only accredited by POEA. As they say, BEWARE OF ILLEGAL RECRUITERS.
I was lucky to have worked in a well-known company in the Middle East. The salary is also very good compare to salaries of other Filipino Nurses in KSA.
If I remember correctly, the salary in KSA range from as little as SR 2,500 to over SR 5,000. Multiply that by 11 or 12 and you get the equivalent in Pesos.
You also need to have at least 2 years hospital experience. That is the requirement as far as I know.
Good luck to all of you.

why don't you just share your company's name instead, so that at least we have an idea which one's to target?:hdvwl:
hello blabber,when u were in saudi can you choose which unit u would like to work on?or they will be the one to assign which area..can we change area in our own choice?coz i'd like to be exposed in OR..or ER..thanks a million.why did u choose to work back home?.:wink2:
Hello Pizzalady!
During the initial application, interview and signing of contract, there was no way of knowing which area I will be assigned. I only found out which area I'll be working in when I arrived in the company that hired me. Basically, I was assigned to the area where I am most experienced at which is the MICU. I used to work in the general ICU here in the PH.
I think choosing which area you would be assigned depends on the hospital/company that is hiring you. You can try asking or telling them during the interview of the signing of contract that you prefer to work in this certain area.
I resigned because I got married last year and my husband is based here in the PH.
Hope this helps.

I would like to know more about what you mean when you said BE PREPARED. I am now tempted to work in Saudi now that most of the hospitals here in the Philippines are not hiring. i have no experience yet, i graduated last year and passed the local boards the same year. Is it safe for female nurses to work there? are they some kind of a maniac or something? Peace! :)
