How many Nursing Schools are in Mexico? And are they equivalent to the schools here in the US?

John, there´s a lot of nursing schools in México. Universities offer the degree. You can try looking for at dcs.mty.itesm.mx It is the site of Health Sciences Division, at ITESM; y Monterrey. However, I should tell you that nurses are not well paid in Mexico,

EQUIVALENT????? WELL FOREIGN NURSES HAVE TO PASS SOME EXAMINATIONS, and dependind of the state nursing board they will have to fulfill other requirements, so they are allow to work, so maybe is better if you ask directly to the board of the state(s) you intend to work and also in the COMISSION OF FOREIGN NURSING SCHOOLS: http://www.cgfns.org. This is a very general idea of what they ask to foreign nurses: Under the INS regulations, there are three primary eligibility requirements for foreign nurses who wish to work in the US on an H-1C visa: They must have an unrestricted license to work as a professional nurse in the country where they received their nursing training, or have received that training in the US; They must pass an examination approved by the Department of Health and Human Services or have a license to work as a professional nurse in the state where they will work; and They must be eligible to work as a registered nurse under both the laws of the state where they will work and the regulations of the facility where they will work. Currently, the examination is that offered by the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS). CGFNS certifies that the foreign nurse’s training and license are equivalent to a similarly situated US nurse, that all their documents are authentic, that the foreign nurse has an unrestricted license, that the foreign nurse is sufficiently proficient in written and spoken English, and that the foreign nurse has in fact passed a state licensing exam. Questions about the exam may be directed to CGFNS through its website at NOW ABOUT WORKING IN MEXICO: 1.-To work in Mexico you will need a work permit. 2.-Depending the state you work as foreigner, for a nurse you will need to get a certificate and registration from the Health Secretariat. 3.-In 2004 25.5% of Nurses were unemployed, and 14.1% of those who had jobs were in areas not related to nursing. So getting a job will probably not be so easy. 4.- They don't enjoy the same salary or status that they have here in the USA since they are not allowed to prescribed medicines, or give a diagnosis in Mexico, they are mere subordinates of the MDs. 5.- In 2004 there were 22,889 enroll students of nursing. 6.-There are 64 educations institutions that offer this degree. 23% of those are private; and those are the ones where it will be easier for you to get accepted. Overall these private institutions did not have more then 670 students (TWO FACTORS: higher tuition, and there alumni don't have access to the same jobs, as other public institutions with more recognition and tradition). 7.-SALARY: 40% of nurses in 2004 had a salary below the equivalent to 4 minimum wages, that means they earn less then 15 us dollar per day. You can check thE data above more in detail here: http://www.funsalud.org.mx/boletin_INSP/documentos/Boletin%20No%206.PDF LINK TO SCHOOLS: http://licenciatura.emagister.com.mx/licenciaturas_enfermeria-tematica-456.htm I recommend you look later for the website of the particular school(s) you are interested. SOME SCHOOLS: Escuela NAcional de Enfermeria y Obstetricia UNAM Escuela Superior de Enfermeria y Obstetricia IPN Escuela de Enfermeria de la Cruz Roja de San Luis Potosi Universidad Iberoamericana Tijuana Universidad Panamericana, MExico DF (Licenciatura en Enfermeria) Universidad Popular Autonoma del Estado de Puebla UPAEP (LIcenciatura en Enfermeria) Many of the public State Universities in Mexico also offer this degree, Nuevo Leon (UANL), Jalisco (U de G), Veracruz ( U de V) Good Luck with whatever you decide and I hope this helps.

Question for Dutch-speaking people who live in or visit Spain
Question for Dutch-speaking people who live in or visit Spain?
I have just published a new Dutch-Spanish medical booklet, that is a valuable help to everyone who in Spain needs to communicate with Spanish physicians, nurses, hospitals, drugstores, etc. See www.verteldedokter.es. Do you agree that such a guide fills a need? I would love to receive your comments. It also gives a lot of information about social services in Spain, in particular about the Social Security system (INSS) and how foreigners (residents or tourists) can make use of it. Dejé de mencionar que ya existe la misma libreta en Inglés. Se llama "Tell the Doctor" y la libreta que publiqué es una traducción de la misma, con añadiduras especÃficas para gente de habla holandesa. Las dos versiones se pueden encargar en <info@verteldedokter.es>. I forgot to mention that an English version of the guide has been in existence for some time. Mine is a translation of this booklet, with added information for Dutch speakers. Both versions can be ordered at <info@verteldedokter.es>.

Hi. First I am not dutch I am spanish but have many dutch friends in Spain. The thing with dutch residents in Spain is that most of them have been living there quite some time and know the Spanish system quite well. However the new dutch peoiple comming to Spain will probably find it usefull. If I were you I would go the extra mile and publish it in ENGLISH since almost all foreigners in Spain speak it. And such a guide is usefull even for some dumb spanish as myself who had to go nuts when I returned home with the SS chainges and all. Do it, and remember if you can go the extra mile since it might open a much wider sector that is desperatelly in need of such info. I saw constantly some poor british and german folks dumbfunded and cross- eyed just trying to understand what Defusky was going on. Best S
