You won't like the answer. Nurses are held in fairly low esteem in the DR, very poor pay.

Actually about RD$6000 per month or about $200 Canadian.....

Stay home! Canada needs nurses......here they make nothing, have no earning power and most are just glorified bed pan emptiers. Doctors here are in abundance and do most of the work associated with nurses in Canada.

is mikehunt there is talking about nurses working in well known private clinics where getting a job would be next to impossible unless your Spanish is impecable and you are 'connected' to whomever is doing the hiring!

thanks for all your information, it sounds like there is not much point in looking for a nursing position , unless its volenteer work , thanks.

if you get thru school, it is really tough, i know from experience, do a couple of years MED-SURG, get a couple of letters like ACLS after your RN then go to work on a cruise ship..........you will be a ships officer, that means your own stateroom, dining WITH the passengers not in some dump in the bilge, good pay, see the world, it is a blast......................
