Hi everyone, I am a Filipino nurse. I have a job offer to Kuwait through my agency here. I already passed the exam from the MOH-Kuwait and also passed the interview. I just want to ask if 220KD is a fair salary for a nurse with free accommodation only but the food is not free.

nurseRN- and your a certified nurse right? a registered RN? sorry it's crazy how the salary is sooo low compared to the states...

@ baldmestizo: yes it is very low compared to Canada, Australia, UK, and US.. But US is in a recession, they stopped hiring foreign nurses and limit working visa to us. Some hospitals also shut down like in New York.

Well it is kind of low unless you share room with other nurses, I prefer you check with them if they offer shelter, transport and food because I think they do so check with them first these 3 things and then I can answer you
