Saudi Arabia hiring 1,000 Filipino nurses



The Ministry of Health of Saudi Arabia has once again opened the doors of its hospitals to a thousand female Filipino nurses with different specializations.
According to a report by JP Soriano on 24 Oras on Wednesday, interested applicants may submit their applications to the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), which will process them free of charge.
Requirements include a Board or PRC license and two years of experience as a nurse.
Benefits include a paid annual vacation leave, free round trip plane tickets to the Philippines, and free food and housing.
Those who are hired will have an starting wage of more than 4,000 riyal, or more than P58,000.
Their income may increase up to P90,000.
"Yan yung starting nila pero as they go along based on their experience, based on their specialization, tumataas yung sweldo nila," said Jocelyn Sanchez, deputy administrator of POEA.
Hopeful nurses are interested in the program for the chance to earn more than they do in the Philippines, despite the hardships of leaving their families behind.
One of the applicants, Laila Hadani, said that they only earn from P5,000 to P8,000 in Tawi Tawi.
Another applicant Derhana Shuhuri added that there's more luck finding a higher paying job aborad.
"Kung ang reason mo money po, kailangan talaga sa abroad kahit mahirap kasi syempre iiwan yung family," she said.
Interested applicants must first register at the POEA website and complete the requirements before going to POEA's office.
The report added that aside from Saudi Arabia, Germany and United Kingdom are also in need of nurses.
Nurses are urged to check POEA's website for the details of the job order and if the agency is accredited. —Jessica Bartolome/JST, GMA News
