...It's been 3 months now since my pre-employment training ended.Now i'm stuck here doing nothing,waiting cluelessly for their call. it seems like it will took ages!:oI'ts hard for me to give up this hospital knowing that it is a well known medical institution and simply because "its one of the best"..so difficult to dump the opportunity, besides to be accepted in that hospital was really a big opportunity for me to enhance my nursing skills..but...the saying "Patience is a virtue"is now killing me.I'm thinking of going now to Saudi Arabia instead of waiting until no one knows when....salary in KSA is much higher and I think I can also get the experience which i'm after for in that hospital.I heard about MOH KSA (thru POEA) they are accepting nurses with less than 2 years experience or even those non-experience nurses.I'm really interested to try it,but I'm bit hesitant because I don't feel confident yet with my skills.I'm in dilemma,I want to help my family financially and at the same time I wanted professional growth for myself..

Honestly speaking, they really offer good training in saudi. My sis works there and its as if she already specialized on different nursing skills.

You mentioned that you pre-employment training is over and your waiting for them to call you? Correct me if I'm wrong, but pre-employment training is different from probationary period right? Its like a certain program that you'll do then your out of there! Am I right? If my definition is correct, did they tell you that they'll absorb you after your training?

If I were you, after that training, I will look for other opportunities. There's nothing wrong with passing your requirements in different hospitals. Why not do it?! At least when you look for other options, you wont stick on just staying at home and maybe just maybe a certain hospital will hire you on an unexpected time......

...to lenjoy----It was really nice to received comments/advice from you,really appreciate it.As for your question concerning pre-employment training.yes.they told us that they will absorb those people who successfully passed the 3 months training and I'm one of those person.in fact I'm done with my physical exam ang i've already submitted other needed requirements.the only question now is when will i start to work?

I've already sent my credentials to other hospitals as well and I guess I have to wait till next year that will be the time they will resume in hiring nurses.anyway, the latest info that i received from my batchmate reagrding our deployment was 5 person to go from the other batch and hopefully our batch will come immediately next after that..(hope so!)

..really PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE!:doh:

You know Rian, there's nothing wrong with calling the hospital where you had your training to follow up the status of your application.... Try calling them! You know what I did when my PE result was not forwarded in the HRMDD? I call them everyday!!!!
