can american RNs work in mexico

You would need to pass the nursing exam to be able to be licensed there.

Also be aware that the salaries are nothing like here, you would make in one day here what would be about 1 month there.

Any country requires that you be licensed in their country and in their native language.

I deal with this on almost a daily basis, should say continuous.

You also have to deal with Mexican immigration as far as getting documents that will permit you to be able to work there nd that will probably be your biggest problem, necxt to passing their nursing exam. An deven if you speak fluent Spanish now, Medical Spanish can be quite different, unless you already are fluent in Latin.

ha ha ha that is GREAT

thanks for the info

so i can forget about working in mexico ...oh well

for some reason i thought there might be a need for nurses there that would be over and above the language / licensing barrier

maybe i can just do a long term volunteer thing and work on my spanish ...i want to spend about 6 -8 weeks there one summer ..SOON

Volunteer thing would be much better. :)
