I have always wondered what it would be like to nurse in Saudi Arabia. You often hear people boast with regards to how much money you can make working for a royal family. I found this posting from allnurses.com regarding the pros and cons of working in Saudi Arabia. It is a very interesting article, very thorough and it is from a nurse's perspective. Here is the link to the article, http://www.allnurses.com/forums/f300/saudi-arabia-good-idea-not-275983.html.

Being a student, you try to consider every possibility and explore various options with regards to employment. However, being able to balance your needs with your wants is a very important consideration. Sometimes we get caught up with the thought of making lots of money, but if we are miserable with what we are doing, it is not really worth it.
