Ionic Bolt Sep 3, 2014 Why would you want to work there? Anyway, as far as salary is concerned...you will have a decent wage in one of the ministry hospital or oil company. But, if you will work in a private hospital...salary is like that of a janitor. And work ethics there is very different from what you are used to. Example, its based on nationality, not credentials...Arabs are given twice the salary, even if they are newbies. I was working there for 3 years already, when one Jordanian came with just 6 mos experience from his home country and yet his basic salary is higher than me by 50KD. And promotion is not based on performance; my supervisor told me, that the admin will only allow 10 persons to have "very good" marks, and since I am new, and single...she will give the "very good" to another staff because she has two children, and she is paying for her rent also,while I am provided with free housing. These are just some of the things, which I felt is really unfair and there are a lot more than this...small things that ultimately gets into your nerves. By the way, pardon me for saying...but I think that country is where the lazy nurses are concentrated. 0 Likes
