Hi everyone,
My wife and I just got married in January, and are looking to start our new lives together in PR. She is a massage therapist, and we have already found tons of opportunities for her to work at resorts and such. I am a registered nurse, and am having a little more trouble. I applied for jobs with usajobs.gov, but the recruiters told me jobs very rarely open up in PR and that there are no openings right now (which is a good sign that PR is the place to be). I would love some help with two things:
1) Does anybody know any good hospitals or clinics not associated with the army that would be good for a ex-pat to work at? My wife and I speak quite a bit of Spanish, but I don't feel confident enough to take orders from doctors and assess patients completely in Spanish yet. I was wondering if maybe there was a doctors office or hospital that ex-pats or vacationers tend to go to?
2) I've been trying to contact the board of nursing in PR, but every time I call their phone number I get a busy tone. I didn't know if anyone knew a better number than (787)725-7506. I am also going to attempt to fax them today.
Thanks for your time and help!
