hi I graduated 1998,and my first job offer is to work as an operating room nurse.until now iam working as an OR NURSE for almost 9 years,5 yrs in the philippines and 4 yrs in Riyadh.By May i'll be in Abudhabi,but they required me to put 1 yr experienced as a med-surgical nurse and thats another story.If you have an opportunity to work in the ward it is much better if you will accept it,even for just one year. Good luck and God bless!
