gee..feelin' the same situation here...I really want 2 be independent too...I've heard a lot of news regarding new graduates working immediately as staff nurses in KSA even without any experience...Im still searching for agencies willing to recruit nurses with less than a year of experience. I've submitted my infos to POEA but haven't received any txt yet. Well, of course as expected they would prioritize nurses with more experience. I only have 4 months of hospi experience and I think I have to continue volunteering till I meet the minimum experience they need...haaiisst...pero hoping to be accepted in KSA if there would be any chance...Hoping..hoping..hehe^^
