they usually require hospital experience.. but I think Saudi Arabia is not that strict with this requirement.. I have 2 friends who were hired in a hospital in Saudi.. they are company nurses here in PI.. I don't know the agency though..

I asked POEA (window M - for Saudi Arabia applicants), they don't recognize work experience of a company nurse as a "work experience"

what about volunteer work or training work as a nurse in the hospital? do they count it as work experience? thanks

They considered my work experience as a company nurse. but I did not apply for MOH, I applied for saudi SRC.

I think gambutrol was referring to a private recruitment agency, not POEA.

I'm not really sure with POEA, but do they not consider exprience as a company nurse if the applicant is applying for a Company nurse or Clinic nurse position?

I just would like to share this. I am about to have my hospital training for 3 mos this year while I am still employed as a company nurse. I just found out that my employer allows their nurse employees to file for a leave of absence for months.

I won't be having my salary while i'm on leave but My 3 mos of absence will still count for my experience as a company nurse. I will be using the money I got working as a company nurse for the expenses for 3 mos while on training. ( BTW, It's a free training, i'll just be spending for my dalily needs, food, fares etc.) Before, I thought of resigning before I go to training. But Filing for a leave of absence is a better alternative because I won't be worrying about getting a job after my training because I am still employed by our company.

To those working as nurses w/c are not hospital based and to those who are working in other fields not related to nursing, maybe you can do the same. Just so you can be able to refresh your clinical skills. Try asking your employer. :)

And also, I found out that some of my co-employees are doing hospital trainings/volunteering without filing or a leave, they just try to fit the schedule of their duty in the hospital to their existing schedule as a company nurse. But this was not possible in my case because I am working in manila and the training I will be having is outside metro manila.

Im with a private agency. they are the only contractor who provides health services to one of the telecommunications company in the country and it's sub-companies. As of now, they are not hiring for regular posts, but wht I know is that they are still hiring relievers. You'll just be on call. You'll just have your duty whenever someone will be on leave or will be absent. Good for additional income especilly if you have other commitments like schooling/ training or work. I can PM you the name of the agency and the number if yiu're really interested.
