Procedures on Applying Work in Qatar for Nurses'

Nurses in the Philippines are not paid well so most of them seek greener pasture by working abroad. I must say that salary overseas is much higher compared to the salary offered in our country so many are eagered to land a job overseas.

Why would waste your energy into something not worth your effort? There are lots of job opportunities abroad for nurses. Middle East countries are the easiest to go with. Not much requirements needed and not much fund is needed. 

Many use this as an avenue for their American dream. Especially those who are not financially able like me. 

If you will asks me why I choose Qatar? Well, I have many reasons. One of which is that it's an open country unlike Saudi. Second would be the Economic growth, it is now the richest country in the world according to an article published by atlas. http://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-richest-countries-in-the-world.html. Third, it needs only a few requirements unlike in UAE and Dubai costing you a little.
