I think those of you with high patient ratios are working in long term care such as SNF. This would not be the same environment as Inpatient Rehabilitation. Those patients are more acute and require more care.

There is a major difference between inpatient physical rehabilitation and a SNF/ Rehab unit. Inpatient should be 1:6 ratio, or 1:7 for low acuity.

Sadly, the many views of Mexico could not be farther from the truth. My wife and I have been going for years. There are sections of Mexico you should avoid due to increase in violence and risk of altercation. However, there are equally as many parts of Mexico which flourish such as the Yucatan, Jalisco and Nyarit states. Work there is nominal for health care workers. There is an increased need for health care workers such as RN's with some of the resorts and they offer decent benefits. You will not make what you do in the states but you can also live much cheaper, eat better for less, enjoy a climate which is wonderful and meet some of the best people in the world. If you believe Mexico is dangerous then you have only been informed of the places none of us who know it well would ever go.
