Nurse, Oriental female coming from the country (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

senegal

'the country' is the definition.
(Senegal is an example)

'nurse oriental female' is the wordplay.
'nurse' becomes 'sen' (I've seen this before).
'oriental' becomes 'e'.
'female' becomes 'gal' (gal is a kind of female**).
'sen'+'e'+'gal'='SENEGAL'

'coming from' is the link.

(Other definitions for senegal that I've seen before include "Part of Africa" , "W African republic" , "Former French colony in Africa" , "Northwest African country" , "Land" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
