Sapphire has since been shut down. Only condos available now, I hear, and the restaurant and dive shop are closed....

Don't do it. It's awful. I lived there 6 months, July 2013-Dec and worked at RLS for a terrible 7 weeks as staff-stupidly. It's nothing like the States. Conditions, culture, your safety there as a statesider, mosquitos, humidity, road conditions, so, so, many ghettos, the constant fear of being robbed or worse, etc. I found myself not wanting to venture outside of our 2 mile radius area where most the statesiders live. Do not live anywhere near the hospital! It's dangerous and scary to non-West Indians. St John is much nicer and cleaner, we spent every weekend there. St Thomas is ghetto and dangerous. The murder and poverty rates are the highest in the US and as a Statesider, you are a target. Don't do it!!

I asked my tax guy about this last month or so. He said your tax home needs to be 50 miles from the hospital and that I should be OK without a residence because my car, DL, and car insurance are all registered in my home state, and I have my name on a PO box. He said having a storage unit would be good too. Fingers crossed and good luck!

Ugh that sounds awful. My company is great, the only one I've worked with as a new traveler, Professional Nurse Service. Sometimes the smaller companies are better than the big ones, or so I hear

So good! Great article! Sent it to my husband!

I know they've had travel nurse positions posted very recently
