moving to st. croix!!!!!

Welcome. Have you been here before?

ummm.... only for a 3 days for a wedding.

Good afternoon, pazd4,

You will find much of the information you're looking for in the FAQ: https://www.vimovingcenter.com/faq/.

Among other airlines, Cape Air flies from STX to Puerto Rico; check out their website for an idea of flight times to San Juan and Mayaguez.

hi , frd,
thanks for the information it's really heipful..i have a question for ya if a nusre wanted to work in st. croix but did not have her license yet can she work ? dose she have to take st. croix test?...

Graduate nurses can work here under supervision with limited privileges until licensing comes through. You can obtain more information from Human Resources at the hospital (340) 778-6311. It answers"this is not a working number" but hang in there, dial 0 and the operator will come on and transfer your call. Good luck!

ok in other words i can work in the hospital until i get my license...

the only hospital i that i find in st. croix is Governor Juan F. Luis Hospital & Medical Center....( 4007 Diamond Ruby Estate,). is that the only hospital?

ok know if i work there and my husband works in a small school located at

No. 20 & 21 Estate Mountain

and i work at ...( 4007 Diamond Ruby Estate)... where would it be best to live ?

thanks for any information.

Juan F Luis is the only hospital. There are clinics in Fredriksted and Christiansted as well, but the major employer is the hospital.

Living is 1. where you want 2. where you can find a rental

If you find a place around Mountain, Grove place, Upper love, you would have a quick ride to the hospital. South of the highway and you tend to get the smells from Hovenza.

a fast question for ya.....pr can get really hot in the 90's these days...lots of humanity..is st. croix as hot as puerto rico. banck name do yu have banco popular or first banck?sorry i know it's a silly question:$)thanks anyways.

STX & PR are around 75 miles apart, so the weather is the same(higher elevations are cooler).
STX has lots of Humanity as well(unless your speaking about the senators or convention delegates,or our currupt police officers<<and the taxi drivers not as bad as STT).

STX has Banco Popular & First banks(from Puerto Rico).

If you purchase property here, you`ll need to get a mortgage here(unless you purchase outright).

If you obtain a mortgage through First Bank, everything they send you about it will be in Spanish(especially if you request English).

Since I don`t know Spanish, & I know they will never send me anything in English,so, I`ve requested they send it in Mandarin Chinese(I put this request in every month when I pay).
I`m still waiting though.

hello everybody,

i have a question...about day care...if i would work in the hospital do they provided day care for there employ? what about day care in general ..in st. croix.. how are they do they have them all over the island? is there a Montessori in st. croix and if so what part of the island? thanks for any information.

DUN, I don't know which First Bank you're talking about, but we have a mortgage with them and have never gotten anything in a language other than English.

Sounds like you have a lot of questions and research to do. I cant help with STX, as I've only lived on STJ & STT. Best advice is a pre move visit, you can really hit the ground and see things as they are and decide what's best for you with first hand exposure. A premove visit from PR should be fairly affordable and worth the money seeing it's in close proximity. Also, use the Keyword Search thread and the Tabs at the top of the page, you'll find a lot of answers to your basic questions have already been answered.

There is a Montessori school on the same road as the hospital a couple of miles north in Queens Quarter. www.viphonebook.com.
The Stone House School in Princess on North Shore Road near the Entrance to Judith's Fancy is a good daycare. sorry for the vague locations we don't have street signs and some roads are known by several names, but the island is just 7 miles wide and 28 long so the learning curve isn't to steep.

The stores are usually well stoked during the middle of the week, don't shop at the beginning of the month, that's when the food stamps come. You can but a ratta island car for $2000 and up and insure it for less than $500. You are supposed to get a VI drivers licence after 6 months. you turn in your stateside licence and bring every ID you own, don't wear a tanktop.

There is a major maintence project that is supposed to start in Jan 20010 thru March so lodging will be scarce and expensive.. There is a bunch of info available in this forum about shipping stuff, do a search of the forum.

WELCOME TO PARADISE

thank you all for all the information provided. Yes, am moving and a little scared to move. But in many ways this is like an adventure you learn as you go.
