Nursing at King Faisal

If ur coming for the money go ahead but my brother will be pain in the ass if u dont do ur job well...

It's not about the money for me - more about experiencing a different culture.

Why should it be a miserable experience........??

That is only your personal opinion and what do you base this opinion on ???

What may seem miserable or negative to you may well be different for someone else.

Hi
I am a paediatric nurse from the UK and have been seriously thinking about applying to work at the King Faisal hospital.  I was just wondering if anyone had any experiences of working there and whether they would recommend it?
Thanks

I hope that will help you

I agree with Stumpy. I have been living in Riyadh for 6 months and have found both expatriate and local women in my apartment complex who are warm and welcoming. They have given me tips on how to find things, and have sometimes gone out shopping with me. This country has lots of interesting historical sites and things to do, also. It's all in one's openness to a different way of doing things, and staying in the humble learner mode.

Also, I recently met an Australian nurse who loves her job (sorry, don't remember which hospital). She came not knowing any Arabic and has learned quite a bit from her patients. She also recently started private lessons with a local teacher, and I have done the same. Great fun.
