US Nurse to Middle East

World Immigration

Published

Hi Everyone,

This is my very first post, but I am here because I would like information regarding working in Saudi Arabia, Dubai, UAE or any other Middle Eastern country. I'm from NY, so the pay is good. However, I am hearing that in the Middle East the pay is beautiful. Are these exaggerations? From my research it appears that Saudi Arabia is the most strict. Should I apply directly at hospitals or at a travel agencies? I am also looking for the best salary. What can I expect for a year assignment in the ER and how much. My salary now is 80,000 will I make more over there?

I appreciate any feedback.

Thanks

Check with KBR...you can google them. I recently worked with a paramedic who just came from there and worked for them...he loved it! Also, I have a good friend in the USAF who is in the desert currently and is checking into who has civilian contracts available for nurses...I will post what I find out (assuming it will be of any value)
