Travel Nursing from Mexico

Published

Does anyone know of any nurses who are traveling to the US but living in Mexico? (Or any other low cost of living country)

Here is my thinking on this. One could live in a country with a low cost of living and travel and work in the US, or where ever, for 3 to 6 months a year and live on the prodeeds the rest of the year.

Is anyone doing this?

I consider Mexico because the weather is warm, the people are friendly and its close proximity to the US.

I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on this.

Got to tell you, Zack... you got more stamina than I do. Border crossings are never pleasant, and who needs that as a more or less daily thing? It's just too damn ugly to want to do, even if it were to only work two back-to-back double shifts, maybe then????? But that's horrible too! :o NH

The second is a good idea although the border thing doesn't bother me too much. Just a note, approx. 35,000 commute from Tijuana to San Diego everyday for work.

NurseHardee - actually if you travel daily you can get a special pass and you go through a special car lane and all they do is look at the pass in your window and wave you through. No stoping or inspections or anything.

Very easy. Very pleasant.

That might be true between Tijuana-SD now, but that's not true everywhere. That's what makes a lot of it such a mess going back and forth on a daily basis. There is always something new and difficult that willl occur, might occur, or is occurring that very second.

My main point put simply for anyone thinking of doing it... that it's a chore I wouldn't want on a daily basis. It can be done, but IMO it's a commute form Hell.

I used to do border crossings three time per week from Mexico and they were never any fun................................and things have changed since then.

Policies change on a moment's notice, and they can change at any ones's whim. Even the people with the passes get stopped every so often.

I wouldn't want to have to depend on border crossing every day to go to work................not now.........
