Nurses Month 2024 | Discounts & Freebies AORN Celebrates Nurses Month

Hi everyone. I would just like to ask if anyone of you here have worked as a nurse in Saudi? I am currently working as a nurse here for 3 months only and i would really like to resign. My contract though is for 2 years. The reason why is because of depression. My co-nurses here don't talk to me and they isolate me all the time. What are my options on how to leave this place? I already talked to the clinic director and he said that he can't allow me to leave because of shortage of nurses here in the clinic. Please help. :(

Saudi is a very challenging place to work and the social cliques make it a lot harder. when are you eligible for your first holiday? I would book it asap, leave and not come back, it actually happens fairly regularity. If it isn't due for awhile consider stacking your shifts and apply to take a short break in Dubai, they will have to return your passport for you to travel, go and don't come back.

That is actually what i am planning to do! But when i asked the director on when i can have a vacation, he said "not now because we have shortage of nurses in the clinic".

I don't care if i get banned in coming back to the middle east, as long as i can get out of here.

You mentioned being in a clinic, do they have night shift at all? Swapping to nights and being away from my toxic manager and the nasty cliques is how I survived.

Unfortunately, they dont have. We all have the same shift which is 9am-12noon then 4pm-9pm. And we all live in the same house. So i get to see their faces almost 24/7 í ½í¸¥

Are you also working in saudi?

I worked in Saudi for several years a few ago. The first few months were the hardest. If I had been forced to share a house with the people I worked with I really don't know how I would have coped.

I really hope you can either find a way to deal with it or a way to get home. Best of luck!

It would have been much easier if i could just pack my bag and get out of this country however, as far as i know (since it's my first time here), we still need to get like an exit clearance so that we can have an exit visa to show at the airport. :(

I'm assuming they took your passport and gave you an igama. You can't leave until they give back your passport and stamp it with an exit visa.

No, they gave us back our passport but still, it's of no use without an exit visa :(

I had 1 -2 house mates but they were not people I worked with. The hospital I worked for tended to house you with people from your home country but not people in your work unit.

It would have been better if that was the case here but unfortunately, we live in the same house and work at the same clinic
