English is not my second language, but knowing a second language can be beneficial. There are always job offerings for multilingual nurses

English is my second language. Filipino is my native tongue. I took English 101 & 102 as pre-requisites for my program. I have no problem at work. My charting is even better than some of my coworkers who only speak English.

Good luck to you!

I bet you can spell and use correct grammar better than a native English speakers. I speak 3 languages and English is not even my native language and yet English class was easy A of a class. Being multilingual is an advantage not a setback ever.
