With 50+ new hospitals to be built across the region in the near future and much else in the pipeline, opportunities for skills development and career progression come up regularly, unlike at home when you can wait for years. Don’t forget that tax-free salary and all the other generous expat benefits, plus opportunities for travel and new experiences - like riding camels through spectacular desert scenery.RNs from 2 years post-grad experience to the most senior levels and in most specialties are being sought - see the list of current vacancies on inside back cover of this publication.

With our help, you can ride high in the

Arabian Gulf

Moving camels lift both front and back hooves of the left side, then front and back of the right side. This creates a powerful swaying motion from right to left that people with delicate stomachs sometimes can’t handle. Maybe that’s

why camels are called ‘the ships of the desert’!

Arab farmers developed the essentially modern system of agriculture which replaced the Roman export model in the ninth century AD. They built sophisticated irrigation systems, invented cash crops and crop rotation, and planted summer and winter crops and new crops like sugar cane, rice, citrus fruit, apricots, cotton, artichokes, aubergines, and saffron. Today their descendants are building an excellent modern healthcare system, and they need the help of skilled, dedicated Western nurses to do it. At the right hospitals there are great

opportunities for career advancement and continuing your education. You do need expert advice to make the most of the opportunities on offer - see the examples across the page. Because Promesse specialises exclusively in placements to the Arabian Gulf, we know what we’re talking about - and we’re free and friendly, so if you want the experience of a lifetime, call Christine Kohleis RN or Judit Barta for an enlightening and informative chat.
