Well what can you do? Its natural that the government of the KSA will protect their own citizens. Another case of "IT SUCKS TO RELY ON OTHERS"...

Wala naman yang babalikan dito, mga fresh grad nurses nga nagbabayad na sa hospital just to get their experience...

There is just too many nurses, not enough demand. The nursing BUBBLE HAS POPPED.

Not to mention the DIPLOMA MILLS who just want to make money when nursing became hot... STI and AMA started offering nursing? What the hell? Aren't they IT/computer schools?

Jobs abroad will only get sparse. Not only will OFWs have to compete with workers from other third world countries like Indonesia and Sri Lanka, but also debt-burdened developed countries like Spain and Portugal. What prospects do these soon-to -be-unemployed? The only thing the student council can offer are courses in soap. peanut-butter, kikiam and pis ball making... or they can go abroad again and work as DHs.

Well AMA was also part of the IT bubble remember in the mid 90's with Jolina as their endorser... Hong Kong, Saudi and far away LA! AMA! THE SCHOOL OF TODAY!

Then the tech bubble popped in 2000 and there goes your IT grads!

Sa mga nag take naman ng nursing. Yun ba gusto nyo? Or kinuha nyo lang thinking a job abroad awaits? If you said the latter then you desrve it. Dapat nag business na lang kayo, we need more ENTREPRENEURS not NURSES!
