I don't have 'real' experience. During the master's i did have to go through a practium, but i don't have any experience after that. And yes, there is a difference between 'American' Spanish and 'European' Spanish, but i understand both since we have to study them at school.Also speak portuguese.
Want a real edge? Look at getting certified as a medical interpreter for Spanish and Portuguese. RN + certified medical interpreter/translator can give you the bump over the inexperienced part. Current JC recommendations are to use qualified medical interpreters/translators rather than lay or family translators in any clinical setting.

Hi everyone,
I am a Spanish nurse who moved to the States seeking for a job. I have a NJ RN license, and a temporary CT RN license. In addition , i have a BCSL and ACLS courses. I also have a Master's degree in Critical Care and i would like to know how and where to start looking for a job in CT . I find this process quit overwhelming at times and i would appreciate some help/advice/guidance through all this process.
My goal is to work in critical care, i am aware that having no experience in the field, that will be very hard/impossible at this moment, but i just want to get a job(not a per diem job/travel nurse job). I don't need any visa since i was born in the States.
Thanks everyone for your help
