Nurses in brazil

[cfelix~]

Hello I am new here and have been searching for info on moving to Brazil as an LPN.

Are there any jobs as an LPN in Brazil?

If so , does anyone know how I might start the process of getting my license?

I am currently a LPN in the US.

Thanks

Can anyone help me?

Good luck to you. People in Brazil seem to want to come to the U.S. There are bars on all the windows; big steel grates on garages; people live in houses about the size of the ave. U.S. living room (concrete huts); many people look like they have been wearing the same clothes for days at a time--like what they are wearing are their only clothes; horribly poor slums with lean to roofs and walls; stray dogs...and people; people always scrounging for a living. Oh, and banditos. A physician I met on a mission trip there said he'd been robbed three times, the last time the robbers took him in his car and left him off after taking his money and car; and his house had been invaded once and his family held hostage. Many of the police are horribly crooked. Hmmm. Maybe it sounds like part of the U.S.

It's a mission territory--still wild in many parts. May God bless you if you go.

They require the BSN for you to go there for immigration purposes as a start. You will also need to be fluent in their language and pass an exam for that first of all.

As an LPN, you do not meet the requirements for immigration to their country. This is the same for almost every other country in the world as well.

Much has been written on this topic. You can check out their website for specific requirements, but be aware that it is all in Portuguese.

Thank you for your replies. For some reason my husband thinks it will be paradise. There is a guy there in Rio de Janiero trying to get him to rent property near the beach he says while he is there trying to build an exporting business. I really did not think it would be a wise decision for me to go and drag our 4 children there. So I will probably let him make that mistake alone.

Typical working class area on south Sao Paolo, Brazil. Looks a little like Waterbury CT.

Another working class neighborhood. Unfortunately can't attaach a copy of the huge lean-to slums near one of the clinics because it's 970k or so limit on allnurses.
