Hello everyone,

I have read the posts but I didn't really find what I was looking for. I am not worried about managment because it seems that most places in the kingdom change things every hour. I am not worried about the visa either.

So, could someone enlighten me about facilities the university has?? For example if I have a 1-3 month infant does the university have a nursey I can put my child in?? I know that in the university of Ha'il they did.

Thank you very much

Here is a post about PNU and if you go back month or two you may find other posts.

Another option maybe "live in nuny" if you can find such a reliable person but, I have to say, i don't know anything about this nor have info so don't assume its easy(This place is hard for singles let alone mother with infant).

Hopefully others will have more direct info/knowledge

Thank you all very much, it was very helpful. I had followed one of the forms and it sent me to facebook and I emailed the group they were talking about, so,I will see what they will tell me.

What I find odd is that PNU has, in the last month or two, offered positions to 3 women with new infants??? Is this a new job requirement at this employer? Laughing

All I can say is that I am glad that I am not teaching there to have to be covering classes for the inevitable problem of "I can't come to work today..." because the baby is ill... had a doctor's appt... whatever. I've worked in departments where this got old really really fast...

Well I am glad that I am not that type of person Very Happy

It is possible to make a doctor's appt. after working hours.

I was only asking if they had some kind of child care services in case I might not have a babysitter.

Dear VS and MEB I couldn�t agree with you more.

Not only I had to pull the weight for the no-show in more than one instance but I also had to prepare classes and do my work with kids running around yelling and screaming at the staff room.

Respectful, considerate colleagues shouldn�t put others through that, there is no need for it.

I am sorry to be rude, however this is why the MOD starts deleting posts. Maybe some of you had a bad experience dealing with inconsiderate teachers; however, not all teachers are the same, so just keep that inmind. I have been called to cover a class an hour before a class started. I had to teach the class without any type of information about the class and where the other teacher left off (and she didn't write were she left off either.) So when I am posting asking for the advice of the "more experienced and "wiser" members of this website- it is because I want to be mindful and considerate of how it makes other people feel when you are called the last min.

So, since the first question was not answered but other non-existent questions were answered, I would like to give a warm thank you for sharing your 2 cents. Rolling Eyes
