Salary? ...Regarding the starting salary,if it is your 1st stint to work as nurse overseas, that looks to be fair.with regard to the transportation allowance of QR1,000/month it seem to be reasonable only if your accomodation and the hospital are located in the same city. i mean if you will be assigned in Al Khor or somewhere far and your accomodation is in Doha, then that might need to be adjusted. Hamad provide pretty decent housing or the other staff gets housing allowance. I am not a nurse but I know some nurse working with Hamad. Hamad is a government Hospital and in general they give higher salary than the private clinics/hospitals.
Can you provide me Hamad's Agency and contact address in the Philippines as it could also be an option for my nurse daughter in the future. She just passed the nursing board exam and barely starting her 1st job this month.

thanks gt. lucero. i applied ...thanks gt. lucero. i applied in Unistaff agency. it is located in Boyle st palanan makati city, presently they are hiring nurses with 3 yrs of experience in special areas like ICU, OR or ER.
Hamad work sounds good. hows the working condition of pinoy nurses there in qatar?
jondpogi said
Salary ...Your salary is fair enough for an entry level nurse, the question is where your accomodation will be. bachelor accomodation means you will be sharing with two to three persons per flat or apartment, nationalities of which you will be sharing it with will depend on the vacancies available. there are 4 HMC hospitals, plus one for openning this year, in doha all located in proximity of each other with one in far off al khor, if you will be assigned in al khor, your accomodation will be in proximity of AKH. its a different environment than back home, not all patients know english. Good luck! For Mr. Lucero, the agency that i know of is universal staffing services in makati located near south superhighway near border of makati and manila.

hamad... ...hamad currently has 5 hospitals, and another one to be opened this year. they still have, i think, around 4 or 5 hospitals being planned.
i'm working in AKH. my colleague was hired from the philippines. she gets to stay in the AKH hostel and receives only half of our transportation allowance, which is reasonable since hostel are just steps away from our workplace.
unistaff and universal are the same agency. supersuper, are they now recruiting for wakra hospital, the one to be opened soon? are they also recruiting for labtechs? how about the placement fee?

Yes, resigning from your job ...Yes, resigning from your job as quick as that is not a good idea. Because I heard that they are deploying hired employees after 6 months or more. I guess it is wiser to keep your job until you are sure that you already have the visa. At least you are still earning while waiting for your deployment schedule.

ask ko lang sana kung pano mo na process yung cert of employment at mga school credentials mo?
dumating n ba ang visa nyo?salamt po sa feedback
jeromanu said
punta ka lang sa skul ...punta ka lang sa skul registrar nyo, then tell them u want to have ur TOR and Diploma to be authenticated, if government skul or chartered skul no need to go to CHED, the registrar will be the one to provide the certificate of authentication and verifications, it should be together with the TOR and Diploma, If private or non-chartered, you will have to go to CHED for the certification..regarding the employment certificate, make an affidavit of employment then have it notarized by a lawyer..after which you go to the court of appeals near you or Manila City Hall for another notarization from a Judge..
When all of those are done, you will then forward it to DFA for red ribbon..the processing will only take a week.
thats all..

Mr. Farzan told they will give me a call after 2 weeks and 1 month is long enough for me to wait again. However, since I am under husband sponsor visa they will consider my application as local hire ((:. On the contrary, applying in the Philippines opened more opportunity for me in HMC than applying here.

and again all they can say is wait even we told them that our medical are going to expire in a weeks time.
good luck on your new job. but if ever the visas will be delayed again there will not be any more nurse to deploy because a lot of i know that was hired six months ago were already looking for new job prospects.
