Here's my situation: Graduate in May with BSN, been applying to tons of places- heard nothing (shocker huh?)
Here's my contemplation: I have always wanted to become fluent in Spanish. I have always wanted to live in another country for a while (preferably Spanish-speaking since this is probably the only way I'll ever really be able to become fluent) I am really contemplating going to a Latin country in central or south America for about 6 months and volunteering or interning as a nurse while taking Spanish classes and becoming fluent. I have so many questions. First of all- am I crazy? Two- will it be impossible for me to take 6 months off and travel and come back to find a GN internship? Will this count as RN experience? Any input would be awesome including anyone who has done this sort of thing before and has any sort of advice for me. This will probably be the last chance I will have to do something really cool like this and I feel that this type of life experience is invaluable. You only live once and I want to make the most of it.
