As I stated in the other thread the salary for RNs in the USVI is 44,912 a year working 80 hours ever two weeks. So in 2 weeks you work six, 12 hour shifts and one, 8 hour shift. This makes a difference because most hospitals that do 12 hour shifts work you 36 hours a week so 44,912 would be a little more an hour if you didn't have to work that extra 8 hour shift.

But my point is the salary is NOT 63,000 a year. That salary has NOT yet been approved. Also keep in mind there are no LPN/LVNs and no CNAs. So think har before you move to an island with a population of 40,000 that is 13 miles by 7 miles and has gun shot wounds in the ER on a daily basis. Just do your homework first.
