Honestly, all I really wanted to know if any travel nurses had worked with new grads as travel nurses, or had worked with new grads while doing their travel nursing in the usvi. That is all I wanted. I will try to find out answers somewhere else. Thank you for you opinions, and happy nursing!

I think you have misinterpreted my tone. I thought this was just a discussion forum, and all I wanted to know was if anyone had any experience working with new grads in the usvi. I HAVE contacted the hospitals. I was not under the assumption you were a human resource recruiter, I just wanted to know what peoples' general experiences have been. That is all. I am not here for an argument, just here to to have a friendly discussion. Cheers!

Travelers who have worked in those hospitals might know if the hospitals accept new grads..... I am not sure why you would say they wouldn't? SOME might not know, including you, but that doesn't mean all travel nurses don't know or care. Someone who has worked in that hospital would surely know if someone new starts working on their floor and is a new grad or not.

I am a new RN grad, taking my NCLEX in a few weeks, and I would like to move to the USVI to work as an RN for a few years. Do any of the hospitals take new grads? Does anyone know if any travel nursing companies hire new grads? I have not found any that do. I have previous experience as a nurse tech in a level-1 trauma center ED, and I spent a year living in central africa working in an emergency sexual health clinic. I lived with no electricity or running water, and the clinic I worked at had very minimal supplies. Although I understand that the USVI will be very different from that, I think my previous experience adapting to an entirely new environment would serve me well moving to the USVI. Lastly, I heard that some of the nurses were not getting paid who worked down in the USVI because a hospital was going broke? Is this true? Or was that the grapevine twisting the truth? I have already done a lot of research on my own about working there and moving there, and I would really like to make this happen! If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it!
