Specializes in Pre-hospital Care, Remote medicine.

Just an added info.. HAAD is for Abu Dhabi which is in UAE, you can take it here in the Philipines. Google Pearson Vue, I think they're the one conducting it here.

I think passing the HAAD exam won't do anything with being a nurse in Jeddah because Jeddah is in Saudi, and Saudi is a separate country from UAE. For, Saudi, there's the Prometric exam which is also being offered by Perason vue.

@ciprofloxacin... I think you're referring to Prometric Exam in KSA. My friend who has a 6 months of work experience is now working in Jeddah. He did took the Prometric in Jeddah. HAAD is for UAE countries like Dubai , Abu Dhabi, Quatar ,Kuwait and to name a few. Ministry of health is like DOH here in our county. SRO stands for Saudi Recruitment Office in Makti. They were liable for recruiting nurses here in the Philippines thru POEA.
