. Your language skills will be very useful, and employers would love to have you. Unfortunately, I don't think there is any difference in pay based on number of languages you speak, or because you are male. However, because of your talents, you may get hired faster at some places. As far as pay goes, it really depends on where in the US you are. The starting pay for RN's at hospitals can go anywhere from around $17 per hour, up to around $40 per hour, depending on what city you are in. Usually, the more expensive the city is to live in, the higher the starting salaries. Good luck with everything.

No males nurses to not get paid more at the beginning level. Languages are a plus but there's no differential that I know of for speaking other languages. Good luck!

Pay varies according to wear you live.

I live in a city where we have a very large spanish speaking population and bilingual nurses are definitely hired over a nurse who only speaks English -- however, there is no pay differential.

I'm wondering what made the OP think that male nurses are paid more than female nurses?

Here are a few articles regarding the subject of women getting paid less than men doing the same jobs:

The OP's native language does not appear to be english. Perhaps wherever the OP is from, males would be paid more than females.

Shame on the Herald! This is a leading female journo writing this article!

In the vast majority of professions (modeling excluded) men are paid more than women with similar skills and experience.
