    Jeb-in-Minneapolis replied to spfd's topic in Florida Nursing

    Very ignorant. Why would someone agree to work for less than the prevailing wage? With 3 years of experience a nurse will be in great demand. If you are unable to get a job as a new grad, I would...

    If you're not bilingual, you won't be able to get a job, unfortunately. Only one other gringo has been able to get a job (part-time) and he worked in the states for years as a spanish interpreter...

    Jeb-in-Minneapolis replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    I totally agree with the others, I have never heard of Inter turning anyone away, and if you have a BS you are guaranteed to get into the 2 year program, everyone does. Like the others said, its...

    The accelerated program (people w/ BA) starts once a year in September, I don't know about the regular program (people w/o a BA), I believe that one you can start any trimester. In Puerto Rico the...
