Size of practice and earnings is the major factor for not choosing the rest of the caribbean. Besides CSME woman you should level that argument at the region's nurses who leave the Caribbean to go work in the UK, Canada and the USA.

We cannot use the excuse that we are small countries and cannot afford to pay them those wages. The Caribbean built some new cricket stadia all over for 2007 to appease the ICC. The money is there to improve the market conditions for our professionals and stem the brain drain. We just do not want to do it. Not a question an issue of the other islands being backward.
