Are you kidding? most American don't know French or Spanish, if you want to get education overseas, then try Canada. Then you can directly attending test and get license. Nurse is very HOT, and difficult to get in Nurse in California.All colleges are 4 to 10: 1, so some schools do lottery, some schools do waiting list around 3 to 5 years. Nurse is very hot, many first year graduates get $80K/ year ,average $120,000 in CA. But be aware, many hositals will cut nurse salary in next a few year, because so many lost jobs, no job means no insurance, they will not either seeking medical care or without paying bill, who can afford $14,000/year medical insurance for a family of 4. And so many nurse graduates plus huge Filipino and Indian Nurses get licenses in US, If you don't do it in $25/hr, many are waiting up for the position. You also need to know nurse is not a flamboyant career, you take care of sick and dying people, you work between all those difficult people( doctor, patient, insurance, pharmacy and lab...)

I am not aware of specific abroad programs, but don't let not knowing the language stop you from going if you find one. Just because most Americans don't know Spanish or French doesn't mean that you could not excel and be more of an asset when you return. A friend of mine is finishing up nursing school and is looking into programs in Thailand, maybe start there. I think it is great your willing to move around. Good luck

Hi, you know to me personally it makes no sense to study abroad for Nursing, you need to study here and pass the state's bar test for Nursing. if you want to visit spain or france, you can do that before your nursing school starts or after it is finished.
