Hello to all,

It is possible to work in the KSA as a CRNA (nurse anesthetist)? Please someone who knows provide whatever details you have I really would appreciate it. I will be graduating from the US and want to live in KSA preferably or nearby (Emirates/Kuwait) and was planning on working in the US for part of the year but I would really prefer to work there.

Shukran!

I'm surprised to see not even a single person knows anything!

Specializes in CTICU.

Especially when you waited a whole 4 days! Anyone would think it was Christmas time or they have something better to do !

I have no idea, but, if I wanted to know, I would spend a little time doing an internet search and I'll bet I could come up with an answer on my own. Have you tried that?

Yes my friend, but thanks for your concern. I have spoken with Helen Ziegler staffing and they actually said no, but that is through them. If you have some better search skills and feel like proving me wrong then I will be a happy man.

King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital in KSA has an open position for a CRNA, so I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that means CRNAs can practice in KSA. Took me about 45 seconds on Google ...

Elk Park you should get paid for your googling skills! Do you mind providing what you're searching for because I can't replicate that except by looking up King Khaled itself. And though that's some good information, it doesn't really answer the question yet because what I understood from Helen Ziegler is that currently MD anesthesiologists alone provide anesthesia care in the standard hospital setting, which this is not (Opthalmic hospital). And I know they hire CRNAs from time to time as I have come across the random ad too, but I am trying to see if they are beginning to be incorporated into the standard system at least somewhere in the Kingdom. I know you said you have no idea but just in case someone does.

Thanks
