Spanish

U.S.A. New Mexico

Published

Hi,

I am still a student nurse, currently living in Virginia, but would like to move back to New Mexico after passing the NCLEX (I am from Santa Fe.) I do not speak Spanish, but I realize that would be important to know wome basics and especially nursing assessment questions in Spanish and was wondering if anyone has any advice for me about how I can go about learning it? Are there any good audio programs or something specifically for nursing? Also, is it really hard for new grads to find jobs in NM right now? I'm willing to move anywhere near Santa Fe or Albuquerque (like within 1 hour commute from either place.) Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

:redpinkheLink to the priority list...http://www.ihs.gov/JobsCareerDevelop/DHPS/LRP/priority_list.cfm MAKE SURE TO CLICK NURSING/LIST BY SCORE

:idea:How priority list works : basically if you choose a site that is ranked 70 or above you are very likely to get your pick...many sites are at the 100 level need (aka your guaranteed, if you get accepted). I am unsure about what these sites are like but I have had experience at the Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage. Hands down one of the best facilities I've ever been to, it's a magnet hospital too. But it's cold there so I'm Leary of AK. Anyways hope this helps. The Gallup hospital is large if you are interested in a specialty field v.s. public health type stuff at a smaller hospital. I am hoping for CCU/ICU or med Surg so I may have to consider Gallup. I wanted to be in Santa Fe because it's close to Albuquerque.

contact a recruiter General Phone: (301) 443-3396. If you are of Native decent you also have a leg up. I'll keep you filled in with what I learn as I apply for this myself. I've done a lot of research and it seems like the best option if you owe a lot of money:twocents:.

Thanks for the info Pablodog!! I do happen to be native, In fact I had my baby in the Santa Fe Indian hospital. I've heard good things about Alaska too, I have an uncle there and thought about it. Is it hard to get into the Alaska hospital? I would LOVE Alaska, I love the cold and the wild! Anyway, I appreciate it and will definately look into this.

Alaska is not hard to get into...you are probably golden since you're native. So how was Santa Fe's hospital I may be working there?
