hello, how much do surgical techs make in the virgin islands? or licensed practical nurse? would you make a good living or would you be struggling to make ends meet?

LPNs seem to command $29-48K, surgical techs around $27-30K. These are from a salary list published September, 2006.

You would be more on the "struggling to make ends meet" end of the scale. Your housing costs could pretty much eat your salary - especially if you add in WAPA bills.
On StX, a studio apt. will cost you 600 per month - plenty has been said on the board about the cost of living. Use the search facility to take a look at prices, utilities etc.

Oh, did I forget to say that these are surely Union jobs and would give you government insurance (much better than what one probably gets in the US) along with a huge number of holidays, a reduced price meal and *many* more perks?

As seriously as people take their food around here, I will bet that the food is pretty darn good!!!!

The hospital cafeteria is actually really good and cheap too. About $3-4 dollars for a big plate of food. It's as good as a lot of local restaurants. Whenever me and my honey go to pay WAPA or Innovative or do something in Sunny Isles, he always stops at the hospital for food.

The cafeteria at RLS on STT is quite good also. Lots of outsiders go there for lunch.

sounds good to me. I just need to find, save some money and finish my nursing in about a year.

What do you mean when you say WAPA?

Wapa is the VI Water and Power Authority.
