After watching her presentation at the conference about her research on job satisfaction on foreign trained nurses in Saudi Arabia. It was a pleasure to learn about how and why she choose this topic to research.

I received this forwarded video from Dr. Joan herself as we worked together for 4 years at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & research Center Jeddah while I was the OR Nurse Clinician/Educator.
Her dissertation is a actual fact that nurses gobally must connect to share ideas and expertise on different issues and nursing practice. Due to global crisis, economic situation is a big factor that could even affect healthcare and its services though their no way we compromise nursing care. Nurses are innovative and flexible to ensure safe quality patient care is exercised at all times. With compassion, updated nursing skills, knowledge and correct attitude towards patient care and wholesome interpersonal working relationship gear to satisfied professional nurse who will enjoy their work and eventually promote nursing profession.
Congtulations Dr. Joan for succesful presentation and being re-elected as Vice-Chairman for Jeddah Nurse Executive Forum (JNEF).
