A few days ago Realedge International unveiled a new pathway for the nurses, the Qatar pathway. We also promised to share more information about working in Qatar as a nurse.
Just like the other pathways, this could also be a route to your dream country, in nursing experience matters a lot and more so in different set ups, you also continue to gain more knowledge and skills.
Don’t they say a change is as good as a rest? Huh?….
