Walikum salaam wa rahmatullah wa barakatu (And may peace and blessings and mercy of God be upon you) Sister Umm Hadiyah mabrook (congratulations)! What area? I am still waiting to hear back about interviews. I did not hear much, except contacting agencies it did not sound like they took Americans. Reassured by that you are accepted masha'Allah (Allah has willed it)! I am a DNP from the US. So far no job offers and two upcoming interviews insha'Allah (God willing) but the closing dates for my preferred positions are still out there... Please let us know about your experiences. Did you get response from SIDRA or an agency? I plan to bring my spouse and children as well inshaAllah (God willing) if I secure a position. What area are you in? I am in OB. It's the last ten days of Ramadan so look for laylatul qadr (the night of power/degree) and ask for a smooth move! edited by happyfamilies on 25/07/2014 as-Salaamu'alaikum Sister, I will be working in the NICU inshaAllah. I was contacted via LinkedIn by a UK based recruiting company (Cavendish Staffing) about applying for a position originally. So far they have been very upfront with me about everything Alhamdulillah and have answered a great deal of my questions. I was looking to move abroad anyway in order to vary my experiences. I was last contacted by Sidra's HR a week or so before Ramadan to let me know that they were working on getting my offer letter to me and asked for some patience. I suspect the arrival of Ramadan and the departure of much of the staff for the summer holiday has significantly slowed everything down. I thought I was the only one that noticed that of the English-speaking countries, America seems to be pretty low on the totem poll in terms of the number of nurses hired to the middle east! I think if you're a strong candidate though, no matter where you are from, they will interview you, wallahu' alim. Besides my seven years nursing experience in NICUs of all levels and well baby nursery, I have two years experience in the postpartum care and successfully interviewed for the University of Pennsylvania's nurse midwifery program. Once we see what the offer truly entails, we'll make a decision. I have been told that starting dates are pretty fluid, but the goal is to start moving staff overseas in November so there is time to get all paperwork and housing sorted out prior to the hospital opening. May the blessings of these last ten nights descend on you and your family and on the muslimeen everywhere, particularly those suffering so much injustice in this world, Ameen! Please keep in touch!
