if you're into money, less hassle and consistency, then just do OTs. 1.5x salary, so if some is earning $36.5, after 40hours it'll become $54.75 compared to $46.5. You have to look at the whole picture. first, do not think that 401k deduction is bad....

local hiring for MOH is closed here and also what i have heard is that the batches of nurses for MOH will all be under sub-contract agencies. please clarify it with your friends and think first before giving out big amount of money. goodluck

@jurujuru -I don't have any news from Al essa agency. I heard that most of my friends resigned and got absorbed by our previous hospital. As ive told you before, al essa agency has a bad reputation.. Try to apply in ADM there in the Philippines beca...

that is totally unfair.. ask POEA and they will tell you that only ONE month salary should be given to your agency. it would be better if you can find an agency which directly hire nurses because they offer more(320kd for private hospitals as far as ...

Hi guys! I've learned a lot from this thread. I would like to ask, is it really necessary to be in a consultancy to apply as a nurse in Norway? Actually, my sister is planning to apply in Norway(Learning Norwegian Language). I already saw the require...

no. it is because from the 900 Indian and 300 Filipino applicants, there are still nurses in kuwait who did not finish their papers(including me). and also, i heard that the personels in kuwait prefer to hire indians because the placement fee that th...

additional info:to those who have MAN or MSN, please be wary that including your post grad diplomas(in you CV) has its pros and cons.pros: Usually the hospital will hire you as part of either Quality Assurance or Staff Development Unit. This means th...

MOH will hire, regardless of the area, as long as you have a 3-year exp 6mos prior to their hiring date. there is a chance that your salary will be reduce or increase. some had like 30-70kd increase while others had their salary deducted by 10-140kd...

two years renewable contract which actually wont expire unless you decided to resign. on the other hand, you will have to renew your civil id everytime it expires.

congrats dinx! i think we're in the same hostel! see you around and goodluck to all al ruwad pips!

dinx -yes you can use credit cards and yes you can exchange your dollars(to KD) in the airport. theysee - you are right, so bring dollar rather than peso bills. fzaq - the board of nursing only allow paid exp. if you are planning on applying in MOH t...

I almost forgot, be sureto bring additional money with you. Since the processing takes quite a long time, we may as well get our salary on or after december or january. It would be wise/better to bring than to ask your relatives to send money from PH...

@dinx - right, to wait is all we can do. BTW, it wont be a problem, even if you have an expired visa if you're already in Kuwait(unfortunately, you'll never be able to travel to Kuwait once it expire here. the immigration section in airport will neve...

@missR - yes, you can but i recommend not to apply from there directly unless you have a WASTA or know someone who has a high position. another problem that you may encounter is that, some instittions might ask you to pay them a certain amount(whic...

@missR - if you have more than 3tears exp then apply for ministry.. the salary that they are giving almost 3x compared to what private hospitals give.

Kuwait goverment should really be afraid, in fact, Kuwaitis only make up around 1/3 of the country's whole population. But, as you can see, this "step" might only be applicable to those "5 countries" or to arab countries. Kuwait WILL NEVER SURVIVE o...
