3,000 Filipino Nurse needed in Oman says DOLE

Big job hiring for Filipino Nurse in Oman for 2013! The Sultanate of Oman is in need of 3,288 nurses and doctors to fill up their country’s shortage on medical professionals, says Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz on Friday . According to Baldoz, this latest positive development will certainly boost the chances of our highly-skilled and highly-qualified medical workers, particularly Filipino nurses, of getting a job in Oman if they are inclined to. Jimeno said the Oman MOH will need 4,464 doctors by 2015, but can only source 1,176 of them locally. In terms of nurses, 5,598 will be hired abroad, he further said. On average, a nurse in Oman receives US$703.79 per month, based on employment contracts processed by the Philippine Overseas EmploymentAdministration (POEA). Related to this, Baldoz warned OFWs wanting to work in Oman to apply only with POEA licensed overseas recruitment agencies with verified job orders inOman to avoid getting illegally recruited.
