How exciting! Will there be any opportunity for you to continue your career while you're there, or will you be on hiatus for a while? I can work after I apply for and receive residency, but there is no NICU here. The resources at the local hospital are very slim and we are lucky there is one at all. My plan is to volunteer at a local clinic run by an American nurse. She is very busy and desperately in need of help, so I will volunteer with her pediatric clinic. I'll keep my licence current by keeping up with my CEUs and my former boss has told me that if we return to Charleston, I can return to work there (barring a budget hiring freeze, we always needed more nurses). That's a wonderful plan, I'm sure your skills are much needed even if there is no NICU.  |

I love Roatan - my favorite place to snorkel. We've been 4 times (on cruises) and will be there again in March. DH and I have talked a couple of times about just selling this house and moving somewhere else. I always bring up Roatan. Is there a fairly large expat community there? Just getting him to move from TN to FL was difficult... but I'm still hoping that the second move might be easier  There's a very large expat community here! Many have been here for decades. They are very supportive and have been helpful in making business and social contacts. Definitely keep reminding your DH of how much he likes it here, you may sway him! It's definitely a simpler life, but well worth it! |

I regret that I had to leave my job, I worked so hard for it, but seeing my husband and boys so happy had been worth it. I think volunteering at the clinic will be deeply satisfying even if it's not the tiny humans I loved so much. |
