I'm the other nurse who joined forces with silver6 to form the nurse's peer group. There was nothing doing at all back then for expat nurses but just before I left Doha in January 2011 I attended a health conference in my voluntary role as a palliative care support nurse with Qatar Cancer Society and they were saying that there were moves to make use of the many highly trained nurses and other health professionals. Ironically I was offered a job as a clinical nurse manager in the cancer hospital(forgotten the name of the place 18 months on!!) days before I came home as a result of being at this conference and speaking to the "right" people. Silver6 is in a very good position to offer advice as is the peer group. Good luck. Keep your eyes open for these conferences too as they are often open to the public and a good platform to talk to people who can help. Hi JoyceB, Thanks for the advice,I'll check on medical conferences in Doha,hopefuly I'll meet the " right" people.....All the best to you too:)

Hi everyone, I moved to Doha a few months ago after living and working in the UAE for 11 years and trying to find a job as a thetre nurse.I have been visiting hospitals and their HR departments in hope to submit atleast a CV,but so far they all asked me to send relevant information on line only and then I never hear any feedback.This is going on for 4 months now and I would appreciate any help/advise on how to approach possible employers. Many thanks in advance <em>edited by furrball on 09/06/2012</em>
