Working in Saudi Arabia
Welcome to the land of contrast and opportunity
 |
Saudi Arabia remains the world's last great
forbidden Kingdoms and has for centuries been closed to outsiders
with very limited tourism. Health professionals from the UK and
around the world have been travelling there for many years however,
to work and experience the uniqueness that is Saudi Arabia - and
perhaps the time is right for you to experience it for
yourself.
|
What will you find when you get there? For
many, living and working in Saudi Arabia will be an intense
learning experience on many fronts: you will be working with
colleagues from all over the world. The diseases and
conditions you come across may be different, your patients are from
a different culture and may not speak your language, all of these
add to your experience.
You
will find that you have more free time on your hands giving you the
opportunity to pick up some extra gym time, learn a new sport or
hobby, catch up with new friends or do some extramural study -
really the choice is yours. You will have a lot more annual
leave than you're used to - many nurses use this extra time off
explore the surrounding Arab Kingdoms, Northern Africa, Asia and
Europe.
To really get the most out of your time in Saudi you will need
to be open to new ideas, to new people and to different ways of
doing things. If you are confident, optimistic and keen to see and
experience different things then Saudi will work well for you.
