Hi, I am new to this site and I found it very informative. This would be my first post. I would just like to know if anybody on this board wrote the Kuwait MOH exam last March 18 in PICC? I believe there were 3 agencies who facilitated the exam a...

I am an IEN, a Filipino. I graduated 2007, work for 3 years in the Philippines and the past 3 and a half years in Middle East. I'm on my way to work in a Houston Hospital next month. Prior to this, I've been interviewed by 4 US hospitals, 2 in Texas,...

Im waiting for my PD (July 2008) to be current (EB3-Philippines) to USA. I got my EB petition from O'Grady Peyton. I have a current license in Vermont (passed California NCLEX-RN), been an ER nurse in the Philippines for 3 years and currently working...

The problem is OGP will request to postpone the embassy interview of their petitioned foreign nurses for a year or 2 until they can have a placement for them. Til then they will not give a letter of support as what might juan de la cruz mentioned in ...

Thanks for the info, Im not aware of that. Most probably OGP has never written any kind of letter of support to their recruits. I have a co-worker here in kuwait also under OGP. It took her 10 months after her PD became current before she got hired b...

My subcon here in kuwait is Al Ruwad. Their only function was just to process our documents for formalities. We are now regular employees under the Ministry of Health, meaning our salary comes from the MOH finance and goes directly to us not thru our...

I am a 2nd courser of BSN, I graduated March of 2007. I worked in Pfizer before taking up BSN. I took NLE June of 2007 and took NCLEX-RN September of 2007. I really put emphasis on finishing all licensure exams first before taking a plunge in hospita...

Some update regarding MOH hiring. Eventually the Ministry of Health Kuwait went to India for massive hiring just recently. My take why they choose to hire Indian nurses solely is because of MONEY that comes along conveniently for local agencies/subco...

If I could only answer your queries, I would gladly do that, but Im not familiar with private hospitals here in Kuwait as Im working under MOH. Im hoping somebody can do that for you here in this thread.

first and foremost, the agency should have your visas in there hands before they will let you do the medicals, the reason for this is your medical result might expire already and your visa is not yet available so it is jus a waste of time and money. ...

no...

The exterior of the building is finish but not sure of the inside.

Please be aware that in MOH hospitals there is no such thing as overtime. We dont do overtime here and no double pay for holidays, instead if you are on duty on a special holiday, you will just get an additional off (they call it balance off). I have...

For police verification, you will go to their police station and just do finger printing, Kuwait police authority will be the one to verify it from our NBI regarding our records.As for the medical exam here, as what I've said it is free of charge. Ju...

There's no problem regarding your visa it will be processed as working visa directly. In our case, we spent almost 2 months processing our papers for formalities here including MOH finance papers, police verifications, iqama, nurse license, medicals,...

I have not heard of 10 hrs work/day here in any moh hospitals or in any area. The shifting here is 7am-2pm, 2pm-10pm and 10pm-7am. Also if you are indeed bound for moh hospitals, you will not know as to where hospital you'll be with nor to what area ...

Happy Holidays everyone! I'm happy to know that there will be more Filipino nurses bound for Kuwait soon. I would just like to add some inputs: I belong to batch 2011 deployment for MOH hospitals here in Kuwait. Our salary offer was 650KD (for a mini...

Sorry for the late reply, I've been out from this site for quite sometime lately. Yes, Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Urology Center is a hospital directly under Ministry of Health/Government, It's management is under Al Sabah Regional Hospital.

I work in Al Sabah Regional Hospital, Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Urology Center is located in Sabah Complex among one of the specialty hospitals, it's not operating yet at present but will soon be open come 2nd quarter of 2013.

DOn't be confused, I'm not saying i'm going to work there in the US. I've been in the US 3 times already as a visitor, besides, Im also waiting for my PD but its still far (July 2008).

Hi to all nurses applying to work here in Kuwait... I just want to share my own experience for the long wait to ku-WAIT. I began applying for staff nurse position thru ADM sometime in March 2010, I believe it's for private hospital (I've not yet know...

I will also would like share some of my understanding about HAAD-RN exam. I passed my HAAD-RN exam last 2010 so Im not quite updated about it. Anyway, there are not much requirements in taking the exam, all you need to be is a Registered Nurse period...

The agency where you applied can best answer your inquiries. Anyway, let me share some first hand information here in Kuwait. As what I've observed, MOH hospitals here (Al Sabah Hospital, Amiri Hospital, Mubarak Hospital, Adan Hospital, Jarah Hospita...

Our accommodation is free and was provided by the ministry and our hostel is fully furnish and nice. I have no idea about for private hospitals which I knew is provided by sub-cons (not sure as well). Co-workers: just do good with your work and basic...

You don't have to worry about work here per se as a nurse, we do have the skills and the knowledge to perform our duties. Trust me, things will be done accordingly when you will be here aleady. All work when handed to you will be learned as time goes...
