I am a college student who is getting ready to declare myself as a nursing major with a minor in Spanish and I want to hear from a couple of nurses or nursing students on what the nursing world is all about.

Nursing is a great profession. If you are all for helping people, can stand some blood and phlegm, and want to have a comfortable and decent pay, then nursing is all good. I think that I hear of more people choosing the medical field all the time. It seems like everyone I know is trying to be a nurse. Look at the rewards. And then being bi-lingual is a definite plus. With the Hispanic population on the rise, we need more people out there who can translate for us. You will get paid a whole lot more being bilingual. I think its a great choice and best wishes on your journey.

I am not a nurse but I work for a Home Health Agency that employees hundreds of nurses and I can tell you that is a SMART thing to do. Just be sure if you are going to nursing school that you go for your RN so you can make maxium money in your career. And being bi-lingual is just going to make you all the more appealing. There are sooooo many options for you to pick from if you are a nurse. You can travel, you can work in a hospital for a doctor.....anything!

I think it's a great idea. Nurses are in short supply right now, so I'm sure nurses who also speak Spanish would have no problem getting jobs. I hope you like science and working with people. Good luck to you.
