Do Graduate Nurses get paid more if they are bilingual?


I was just wondering if pay is higher for bilingual nurses, and about how much?

I have never seen a pay differential for bilingual, but I have seen positions advertised that were asking for bilingual applicants only. It might depend on what part of Texas you are in, I am in DFW.

I've seen the same type of ads. My AP teacher highly recommends to his students that they start taking some spanish classes ASAP. I checked out a book at the library that teaches spanish words/phrases specifically for medical workers.

Sure makes me wish I paid attention in Spanish class in high school. I'm kicking myself for it now.

I"m in Houston and I've never heard of any one getting higher pay for being bilingual.

No, you might get hired over someone who isn't, but I don't think you get paid more for it.
