@EMNZ I was informed by Sidra that I should submit all my paperwork and expect to be flown out sometime in February/March 2015 depending on how fast my paperwork is processed. I was not given a definite answer which i find very worrying to leave an established organisation for a new hospital. My fears are whether the new batch of staff like myself will be used as a trial to correct their organisational problems or sidra will open in full swing with everything intact. As a new facility I believe there will be lots of teething problems etc, friends and family are advising me to start work at sidra in 2016 after a year of operation. Who knows there are a few nurses here in sydney who are heading out there with one already working as a clinical nurse leader. My friend who is already there informed me that they are currently working using simulation as they prepare to open. She did say it may or may not open March 2016 as the hospital is still keeping quiet about the completion date. So If I do get hold of any factual information, i will share it here edited by mayanurse1 on 18/12/2014 Hi Mayanurse1, as you pointed out staff should expect teething problems. Even in established hospitals there will always be trial and error (how much more it will be in a new one like Sidra). Like yourself, I work in an established hospital and quite a risk in jumping to a new one. Some of the requirements they're asking are time sensitive (e.g. Certificate of good standing). The validity of the said document is only 6 months. So if anyone already on this stage and submitted this requirement, would that mean to re-submit it again since it will not open until 2016? My excitement when I applied was way too high but started to wane off. I accepted the offer but I still have an option to withdraw.

Just wondering for those of you who have dates for relocation in the new year, what positions you have. The recent information that I have heard through a friend is that Sidra will not be opening until the first quarter of 2016 and relocation for RN's will not take place for another year. I just wondered if anyone had heard anything different. Thanks :) Hi, I'm new to this site. Your friend is right about the "new" opening date of Sidra. I am an applicant at Sidra and just got my offer this December. I was told though that Sidra will no longer open this March 2015 but instead on March 2016. :(
