Saudi- MOH

hamish · Aug 22, 2009

hello! Just a piece of advice to all those who are interested to work in Saudi Arabia, I sincerely believe that it will be better if you apply directly to POEA because most of the agencies recruit nurses for private hospitals. Many of these private hospitals offer smaller salary packages and longer contract which could be a minimum of 3yrs. I once worked there in a private hospital while I was with my family using a dependent visa. I met friends who were recruited by agencies and sadly, most of the packages that were promised to them while they are in the Philippiines were not realized when they reached Saudi Arabia. So just be very skeptical about the contract and the packages they are offering. God Bless!

hi people!

anybody here who is leaving for saudi on sept 11? i know someone who is leaving on that day. all i know is that she applied at poea earlier than me but i don't know the exact month and that she followed it up. that's all the info i got from her. does anybody here followed up their application even though you haven't undergone the interview yet? and do you think i can still go to SRO as walk in even if i have already submitted my application at poea? i need inputs on this.. :confused:

I know those who will be leaving on Sept are those who were interviewed last March-April. MOH really had a mass-hiring back then...

Does anyone know when will the SRO delegates conduct interviews again? There are no contact numbers in the POEA website, looked up contact numbers in the net but they are completely useless..I guess they changed their numbers.. I e-mailed them but I don't know when or if I will recieve a reply..

hi again to all followers of this thread..an agency personnel called me today offering me a job in a military hospital in KSA as a nursing assistant because i don't have any hopital experience yet. i was offered 1200 riyals(approximately 14,000 pesos) as salary. what do you think?should i accept it or not? since there is no chance of being hired here in the philippines but to be just a volunteer nurse. i need your inputs on this. TIA!

what's the name of the agency? coz i also just received an SMS from one agency form Malate instructing me to visit them tomorrow for an interview. the position was not mentioned, but it was stated that it is in KSA. i don't remember applying to that agency before. that's low, i was offered once 2.5k despite of having no previous hosp exp. the position was Nurse-EMT and the real offer is 3k if with 2yr working xp.

P14,000 is very low compared to the offered contract from MOH- ranging from P20,000 - P35,000. I am planning to wait until next year for MOH-SRO to hire inexperienced nurses again. But it is actually up to you... There are times that I feel I can't wait anymore. I'd like to work as a nurse ASAP. Try to backtrack the advised given to me by Miztahcool on this forum. Cost of living there, accdg to him, is quite high, usually employers offer subsidy for lodgings but how about the food. Its actually up to you, if money is not a problem.. Then why not.. Instead of wasting time here waiting.. why not spend it productively by working as a nurse abroad. But there are agencies offering a nurse position w/ 1,400 - 1,600 SR salary for inexperienced nurses. However, you have to be careful because i have to make alibis to withdraw my passport from them since I learned from POEA website that these agencies don't have job offers for nurses. So i'm not sure if the job I am landing is legal. Good luck to us all!
