RN in USA looking to work in the Dominican Republic...

by Anna
(Chicago, USA)

Does anyone have any resources on how I can job search to work in the Dominican Republic as a RN there? I've been searching and everytime I try to find a travel job overthere it's always international RNs coming INTO the USA....help????

Answer:

I am assuming you want to help with the Haiti earthquake so if that's the case, you'll find good information on this page of nurse.com, which lists various organizations hiring nurses or looking for volunteers for Haiti. Some of them will be in the Dominican Republic. The article accompanying the list is also of interest.

If you're seeking humanitarian work or volunteer opportunities, have a look at an article I wrote recently for Transitions Abroad - it might give you some ideas.

Other possible sources of information or work include:
- Advance for Nurses
- Nurse Volunteers
- Nurse Together
- RNRN

Well, I am organizing to go to Haiti with the hospital I am currently working at. However, I am looking to move to the DR and live there for a couple years so I would need an actual job to make a living....

Answer:

As this isn't a job or nursing website, we don't have specialized information. I can suggest you try some of the Spanish-speaking job sites in the Dominican Republic, such as Dominican Classifieds or Opcion Empleo.

Other options I would pursue if I were looking for nursing work in the Dominican Republic are the large foreign vacation towns and resorts (the larger ones may have live-in medical care) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or charities, such as orphanages. I wish you all the best!
