A Dominican nurse who emigrates to Italy or another European country earn 1,500 euros per monthbut if you work overtime, as part of a facilities package in his employment contract, he reaches about 2,500 euros per month.
In the Dominican Republic, a nursing graduate has as a base salary RD$38,000 per month. By taking the average of that same nurse who in Europe earns up to 2,500 euros per month and leaving it at 2,100, multiplied at the current rate of the euro, which is 59.23, she would earn in the Dominican Republic RD$124,383.
This implies a difference of RD$86,383 more than the salary of a nursing professional in the Dominican Republic.
Abroad, the Dominican nurse has only salary a profit of 3.3 times what he earns in this country, which explains the reasons for the exodus.

would do it again
You cannot compare what you earn in Europe with the salary in the Dominican Republic, it is that the package offered by these countries is excellent, says Alba María Vicioso Paredes, who worked in the Marcelino Velez Santana Hospital.
He assures that professional work is not respected in the country and that since a professional turns 55 they see her as old and do not hire her.
In the Dominican Republic, despite the need for nurses, politicians have to be begged for an appointment and that affects dignity, insists the nurse.
The salary is attractive for any nurse, since they are professionals who are mistreated by the nurses themselves when they reach executive positions, indicates Vicioso. These professionals work but are well valued and that matters.
My salary can reach up to 1,900 euros per month and facilities to bring your family and be able to solve fundamental problems. Marcelino Vélez has lost a considerable number of nurses.
