Nurse considering a move to Riyadh

Hi there!  I don't have any information about the hospital, but thought this thread might help you.  https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=120829  It's a little bit dated, but you might find more recent ones if you search the forum using the search bar at the top   Good Luck!

hello, have you moved or not yet? may I know what your specialty is? in which particular department do you hve your experience? I am in healthcare business and looking for nurses to hire.
thx

I know a bunch of ladies that work there. All around your age from different parts of the world. I think the shifts differ depending on what department you're in, but you live in a central location, with alone or shared accomodations in a nice flat, with 52 days a year vacation plus a really good salary. And you get the invites to all the good parties.

It's the #1 hospital in Riyadh...do message me when you arrive.

Cheers,

Alex

Hi most of my social circle are from the KFSH most of the nurses working there either hate it or love it! The salary is not as good as you may think,cost of living and transport are the two areas that I hear gripes about, but if you treat the time here as a chance to travel using your 50 days leave you will have a great time. Just don't stay too long as even though you would expect the KFSH to be 100% up to date the practices are behind the times and with Saudisation will not catch up. So too long in country you will lose the edge with your compatriots back home.
