    Hey guys! im new to the forum but i have been a lurker for quite some time! i recently passed my nclex-PN in April of this year and would like to know where i can get ANY info on working in trinidad longterm. I currently live in New york and am a U.S citizen born and raised but would like to venture out and possibly make a move out there....questions...is this realistic? do they get paid fairly the same amount overseas? are lpn jobs in trinidad or tobago even available? do they have lpn-rn programs in trinidad that are affordable? any info will help thanx guys!!

    Hi, you can visit this website www.nursingcounciltt.org. This council is the only nursing governing body in T&T. Give them a call,they're helpful with queries. If a LPN is the equivalent to an E.N.A(Enrolled Nursing Assistant) in T&T, I don't know of any bridge LPN-RN programs available. The E.N.A's in my RN (ADN) program didn't receive credit for any prior course work done. The basic salary is increased annually,on the basis of an appraisal.

    I know this topic is old, but what was the outcome? Did you ever move? I'm considering moving back to Trinidad, but not sure of the nursing salaries...
