Well, this was asked before

Where do you hail from ?

BTW, nursing jobs don't pay well, unless the candidate is good enough to convince a private hospital to go the whole 9 yards in the paperwork etc.

I would talk to nursing agencies - my ex is a nurse and that was a decent paying option for her.

However nursing here is a bit like taxi driving - sort of reserved for SC's and PR's and FT's from certain countries - it doesn't seem to be an open profession.

There's also the issue of having her EN/RN registration or licence converted. EN's are time served apprentice nurses here and RN's are time served / degree holding nurses.

thank you guys for the inputs....@ecureilx-- i hails from india..i understand that nursing jobs doesnt has much pay then other jobs...in my case pay is not a matter as the job needed only to keep her profile active by working continously without having a break in her career...@PNGMK...Yes.you are right...RN can be done only if you have a valid job offer from the local hospitals(as per the SNB policy)along with the necessary work experience and degree.....i will talk to few agencies here and move on further....thank you again guys for your suggestion and thoughts...!!!!

she may have better luck in the Hospice, but most work is a care giver .. if you want her to work . period

For nursing jobs, you are on the right track .. talk to agencies, especially those who are operating in India ..

Hospitals here rarely recruit locally, as agents take care of all paperwork and stuff.
