Hi I am trying to find out the same kind of info, I am a RN. Lets keep in touch, I am writing to a friend and a local in Panama.
They don't like to give the jobs away from their people but they have opened some very big hospitals.

I would like to know if anyone has information about working in Panama as a RN. Or the other prospect is opening a business to work as a RN and hiring local nurses Thanks

Does anyone work in Panama? I am interested in moving there and working. There are many sites with information but it is most helpful to have an inside view from someone who lives in the country you are planning to move to. Thanks

I wouldn't say nursing is Family friendly, unless you are per diem and have no benefits etc. When you are working and they schedule you, day, evening or night they don't care. If you have a family event on the weekend and it is yours to work, find co...

Hello Tyler, I really hope that your comment wasn't directed toward me. No one said to sue anyone. It said to contact someone who is more familiar with the law to give advice and assistance as to what path to follow. Not every attorney takes their cl...

Dizzyelizzy, If you wonder how nurses could be overweight, it is because they don't get to eat a meal, with the shortage of nurses that is not addressed, and they can't leave their patients, sometimes for more than a shift, if no one comes to let yo...
