Good morning, its 10:00 am over here is Saudi. Although I'm not a professional in the field, I do have some relatives who work here in Saudi hospitals here. What type of information are you looking for ? can you update your information with specifics and I will let you know in a day's time regarding the things you asked about.\n\n:)

Saudi Arabia is a traditional Muslim State where as Dubai is cosmopolitan where outsiders and the floating population are both from among Muslims as well as non-Muslims.

I have worked as an RT for more than 35 years and I have worked in various areas in the USA and I worked in Saudi Arabia.  Basically my pay has been comparable to that of an RN.  Whenever we deal with humanity and especially closely involved with life & death situations....it can be extremely tense at times.....but I also have a lot of fun with my patients and my co-workers.  Honestly...there have been tears..tears of laughter and tears of sadness.  Rarely am I bored!  I like that I am working in every area of the hospital, because I like working in smaller hospitals.  In larger hospitals RTs often are assigned to a specific area.  My preferences are the ICUs and ERs.  RTs do a lot of work in cardiology and I am fascinated with this. \n\nAs hokey as it may sound, I love being part of a team....nurses, nurse techs,Drs, lab, xray, housekeeping.....they all...truely raise me up to be better than I am.  \n\nRight now you are being challenged in school...as an RT you will be challenged personally, physically, intellectually and emotionally to reach beyond the beyond.....often on a daily basis.  Get ready for the real ride of your life when this part of your education is finished.  By the way....your education will NEVER be finished.  Matter of fact, you have only just begun! \n\nLook, right now concentrate on graduating and then when you get to work as an RT, keep your mind open, work hard and be the best you can be.  Good luck!!!\n\nThank you for asking the question.....I loved answering!!!!

Yes but you will have to go through a probationary period of at least three months (I'm assuming you're from the USA).\n\nContact the UKCC for more information.\n\nEdit:  Princess, there are some RN's who graduate from Diploma programs (my wife did).  As those programs are very rare now, most nurses in that situation tend to have been nursing a long time and are, consequently, highly-prized by the British NHS.

Anything, and I mean ANYTHING, in the nursing field.  There are also medical-related jobs not involving direct patient care, like medical records, which I am going to school for right now.  Medical is definitely a good way to go, but always keep your own interests at heart.

i don't know the procedure or have the perfect answer for you. but maybe to help you i would recommend to contact the IMC (international medical center) between heliopolis and 10th ramadan on cairo-ismailia road. its a co-working project between egypt and usa and they are american nurses to train local ones as well. maybe they have an exchange programm with usa? i don't know about it, but i would consider it worth a phone call or a visit. if you start there, maybe you get a sponsorship in your further education that way.

Your local library should have the book "Occupational Outlook". In it it will tell you everything that is required to become a nurse, what the different types are, what the working conditions are like, what salaries they make, and job opening prospects for the next few years.\nExcellent job choice by the way. Good for you.

any college that is NLN accredited is good enough. Remember, these colleges are preparing you to take the licensure exam. However, the number one nursing school in the country is the University of Washington and number two is UCLA.\n\nAlso, when you are out there working as a nurse, no one cares what college you want to for nursing school. Really.

I don't know of anything specific, but check the hospitals. Sometimes they have nurse training programs.

This is a great question. I am looking forward to seeing other answers. The one thing I love about Arabic countries is the mystical and magical feel that it has. I've been to Egypt and the aura that the people give off is so cool. That certainly isnt found here. As for an actual custom, I'd have to say is the fact that they are so family orientated. You would never see a nursing home in an Arabic country because they feel that since the parents take care of the children, the children should take care of the parents when that time comes. Its seeming to become less and less common for adult children to care for their ill parents these days in the US. What custom do you like?
