Hi Bugboy,
I am also an Australian Nurse and will be in Doha in 3 weeks to take up a position in a new hospital which will be opening in the next couple of months. While I haven't been to Qatar before, I have some friends who have nursed in various parts of the Middle East who have enjoyed the experience. Compound living will give you the opportunity to meet others with the same interests as you. My husband is coming over with me and he is a computer geek who spends alot of his time on-line gaming[mostly W.O.W]. You should have no problems meeting people at work, I'm sure there are quite a few Aussie nurses coming over soon, and the girls would probably appreciate a guy tagging along when they go out. It is a great opportunity to experience a new culture and meet new people. I reckon you would regret it if you don't try it out. We are looking forward to our adventure, perhaps we will meet, its probably the same hospital.
