Hello everybody, im a new member in this forum. Im an RN from the Philippines. I'm currently working as an OR Nurse here in our country. A family friend invited me to Doha,Qatar. They told me that it would be easier to find a job there. I am now waiting for my tourist visa. I would like to know if i'll be entering Doha w/ my tourist visa, how do i go about with my hospital application? What are the documents do i need to bring with me? Please help.... Thank you in advance for your response.

Thank u so much for your response. Now im thinking pretty hard if i still want to go ahead with my plans...per ur suggestions on agencies, i've tried inquiring at Universal Staffing in Makati but they require a 2 yrs. experience (in which i dont have)...

its kinda hard looking for a job here in our country. hospitals only entertain volunteers in which we donot get any salary but function as a staff.. frustrating..maybe i'll just take my chances.. i'll keep u posted once my visa is ready

Cheers!

It will not be possible for you to apply for a job here if you have tourist visa as the visa is only good for 1 month and can't be extended otherwise you have to buy a working visa which is "illegal". Well, I think it will be better for you to apply through a recruitment agency in the Philippines wherein they will be the one to process all your papers for you to be able to work here.. =)

i think it will be hard for you to apply for a position in hospitals here using a tourist visa, especially you're a nurse. it would be best to apply through an agency in the Philippines if you want to work here as a nurse because if you're hired from overseas, you'll get a better package, google universal staffing which is located in makati.
