Hi all,
I am 24 years old french girl, living in Lyon at the moment, I am a registered nurse, and I have been traveling the last past year in Australia and New zealand, and I am now interested in living and working in Costa Rica. I would be grateful for any advices :)

Unfortunately you must be a or have a to work here. As far as I am aware, all those practicing in medical聽 professions must be re-certified here in Costa Rica with exams in Spanish, and you would be required to be bilingual.

Were you employed in New Zealand and Australia as a nurse? If so, did you require a work visa?

While I agree that many foreigners do work 'under the table' but in the medical profession, I do not honestly think that someone would be employed that didn't speak Spanish nor had the required, legal paperwork...at least I would hope not.

English speaking patients聽 are a very small percentage of even the top hospitals. A few years ago, we spoke with local nurses at the and asked if they would get paid more if they had good English skills and they said 'no', they聽 would receive no addional benefits nor were they encouraged to learn/practice聽 English Doctors, yes, and since they take many courses in countries around the world, they are [i]usually bilingual.

Encourage them to visit and ask round, rather than give them the wrong information.

Kohlerias, who are you addressing this to? I only referred them to another thread about immigration, that is here on this forum. I have no idea whether all the info on that thread is correct or not. But I don't recall saying anyone should immigrate here to be a nurse without proper credentials.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that the post I disagreed with, was the last post on the thread you referred to in response to the OP louisonpons

that I suggest you read, louisonpons so that you don't find yourself in a position you may regret.
