I was offered more than 8 years ago as a Medical Secretary. The Aramco people aint that bad

nurse with benefits?

rowell

That may well be the case, but plenty of requirement and plenty of offers with crap salary and hours and has a degree in midwifery, 20 years Uk experience, 8 as an area supervisor and sits on the UK board of mivwives.
Doesn't mean a thing here!

Mr Andy

I know quite a few nurses in Riyadh and the going rate seems to be between 14 and 16k a month ......... think at about £2k a month.

They are all American, Canadian or British, and I believe that the salary for other nationals can be much lower.

Not sure about Dharhan salaries for nurses, but I know a few Saudis who work in the EP and they always say that Saudi Aramco are one of the better payers in the area.

here in Dubai it won't but it is a different matter on the Aramco compound, I was working here as a Med Sec 8 years ago and was taking about about 5000 dhs, 8000 is big difference. PLUS the 8k came with free accomodation, airfares, medical etc

pretty good considering it is tax free and you get a package
