Why do Saudi Arabian Hospitals recruit overseas nurses?
University hospitals in Saudi Arabia have been training nurses for almost 20 years, however, the number of Saudi Arabian people entering the nursing profession falls far short of what is needed to staff the Kingdom’s hospitals and clinics. To overcome this hospitals recruit nurses from all over the world, creating a multicultural working environment for the nurse. To overcome differences in the nursing background of their staff hospitals establish their own standards, policies and procedures. Often these standards are loosely based on a system of Healthcare in another country such as USA, Canada or United Kingdom.
