It is my understanding that you do not need to know Arabic (it would help, of course). But I have read that English is widely spoken in the hospitals.

I am traveling with cross country and if you want to travel in nyc or florida they are the primary company used. i've heard they have some sort of monopoly in fl and you can't work there without going through them in some form. maybe you'll work for another company, but that co. will go through xctry, since they are based in fl and are a huge company. i have had really good experience with them. What it comes down to is this... is your recruiter on the ball? if so... you'll have a good experience. if not, then it may not be so good. I have nothing but good things to say about them

I am currently in NYC. have done 2 assignments here. One at Columbia-Pres and now I"m at sloan kettering. Love sloan. Hated Columbia. Pay in NYc is low, but it's free rent, which is (in my company paid for apt) about $2700/month. I love it here. There's tons to do. Don't bring your car. Leave it wherever you come from.

google... o'grady peyton or sainternational. o'grady peyton is the international division of american mobile nurses. they are a huge travel nurse company in us. they have positions in saudi and also australia. they were very helpful. sainternational, it seems, just does saudi positions.
