the caribbean

by Ginyer

My husband and I are moving to St. Maarten in the Caribbean for him to go to med school soon and I was looking into going through a travel company to work there. I read the thread about the virgin islands and I have a feeling it would be about the same for the caribbean. I was just wondering if anyone has worked in the caribbean. Also will most large travel companies send you to the islands if you're looking to go? I may decide to just wait tables or something while we're there...but I'll be there a year and a half. I'd hate to not do any nursing for that long.

Thanks for any information

Default Re: the caribbean
Actually it is quite different for the other countries, when the US Virgin Islands, that is a US territory and they use the NCLEX as the licensing exam.

For the others, you need to go thru their licensing board as well as get a visa that will permit you to work.

St. Maarten is both under the French and Dutch rule, so different requirements are in place from the US.

Have not heard of one company sending travel nurses to where you will be located; you will have to go thru the licensing process on your own for that island. Please make sure that your visa will permit you to legally work there, before you start the licensing process.

Going to move this to the International Forum, since it not under the US requirements and very different from the typical travel assignment.
