i think 2.5k is good, provided that you have also have free board and lodging. RNs' salary in KSA range from 2k-4k, depending on your experience...you can also try asking the peeps on the SRO-MOH-Saudi thread

thanks to all of you who gave time to reply....

I see...Thanks for the info! But that's the thing,of course i want to work in a hospital setting someday...And i would only take the company nurse position so as to have nursing experience here in the Philippines since no hospital would hire us. (sigh)

Hi! I would just like to ask if working as a company nurse here in the Philippines will count as "nursing experience" when applying overseas? Thank you so much for your inputs

hi chinky and everyone!!!:) chinky, can you please PM me the agencies you are referring too?I I'm also planning to apply in Canada and I would really appreciate it if you could share some info...CRNBC is my target..thanks alot!!

hi! i just have some questions for you guys... 1. do i really have to have work experience here in the phils before applying to SRNA?if so, what's the minimum? 2. is having an agency really important? what do you think are my chances if i'd apply on my own? 3. is it better that i have my ielts first before applying? that's all for now..thanks!

Hi! Boy am i so glad to have found this thread!! I am also an new RN in manila (and no nursing experience!) and I want to work too in Alberta. I have started communicating with CARNA and they told me that I can still apply even without the nursing practice and I could be considered as a Graduate Nurse. So, here are some of my questions (though some or may be most of these have already been answered, just wanna make sure that I have understood them correctly: 1. What are the documents that I need to submit to CARNA for the first time? 2. Do I need to pass the IELTS already before I file my application? or I can do this later? 3. Do I really have to have an employer in Canada before filing my application with CARNA? or I can already file one even without an employer? 4. What could be the consequences of having and not having an employer in CAnada? 5. Will other positions (like office assistant, etc) be allowed by CARNA before sitting for the CRNE? 6. If the nursing degree program I had in Manila does not satisfy CARNA, how do I go abot SEC? Well, I guess that's just about if for the mean time. I hope somebody would be kind enough to accomodate my questions.. Thank you very much
