I am an RN looking to work in the Dominican Republic but based in US. Need info on companies willing to let me work abroad. Experience in case management, audit, coding and triage. Worked in insurance company and PCP offices. Any advise?- @alejandragmz2014
@alejandragmz2014 did you have luck finding a job in the DR as a nurse? I'm also an RN and plan to live there while my kids attend an international school and I would like to work while I'm there.

Hi there, I work for a surgeon here and you cannot work as a nurse here legally without converting your license to a dominican one. With that being said, in DR there are no tiers of nursing like there is in the US.
There are certified nurses which do a training program (equivelent to medical assistant), there are licensed nurses that do a degree program (equivalent to BSN) then there are doctors (MD). That is it.
With that being said, there are other things you can do online/remotely to gain income. I just would not count on working in person at a medical establishment here as healthcare providers cannot have someone without legal status on their clinical team and the average salary of a degreed nurse here is 25,000 pesos and that is on the high side.
