Come to think of it, I've never met a Cuban in New Mexico. But there is a town called "Cuba" in northwest part of the state.:p

So any luck finding other Cuban nurses in New Mexico? :-P

How weird! I'm Cuban-American (padres cubanos, nacida en los Estados Unidos) and in Florida and have been considering a move to northern NM or southern CO after RN graduation,... which is still a few years away. I was talking to my family about possibly having to stock up on some of staples before we move... like massive amounts of Pilon/Bustelo, mojo, turron etc. (Just a few things I didn't see in stores there and I don't think I can live without.)

So is there really a lot of talk about NM pay rates down here? I'm not working in health care atm, so I have not heard anything. I'm just drawn to the climate, people, culture... I love everything about New Mexico!

What about you? Have you moved yet? If so, how do you like NM?

Well... I moved to Santa Fe (north of NM) and guess what... I LOVE IT!!!

Even without Bustelo or La llave (I don't like Pilon). The weather it's lovely, dry and cool(50 f today). Just 2 days ago there fall 2 feet of snow in the mountains. Today I went up to the top just to grab some in my hands. I just bought a Nikkon camera and I get the best pictures ever!!! Coming down the mountains I found Deers (I remmenber Alvarez guedez and his monologue).If you send me your email, I will send some pics. Next weekend it's the Ballons festival... They said it's amaizing. I want to go.

The hospital it's small but, so far I like it. Frendly people everywhere, polite, smiling....

What do you know... I don't know anybody here and I falled in love with this place.

So far there's 6 cuban nurses in Albuquerque that contacted me. We keep in touch.

Welcome to New Mexico Bigbro!!

You will soon find out this place is truly the "Land of Enchantment". Autumn is my favorite time of year in New Mexico, the cool crisp mornings and the warm afternooons are just delightful. Did you have a chance to make it to Ballon Fiesta? Wasn't it spectacular!! Well, I make the rounds around the hospitals of Northern New Mexico. I'm gonna keep my eyes open and see if I can guess who you are. Don't worry, I'm not a stalker, but more of the big sister or mom type.:icon_roll

Again, Bienvenido!!

The salary depend of your experience and certifications> some places pay 23/h, some others 26. On home Health it's not by hour but by visit. Usually it's $25. The more patients you have, more money you make. :smokin:
