Is Being Fluent in English and Spanish a benefit?

[prettypiedra]

Hello I am a pre nursing student one year in so far, I am anxious and excited to enter the Nursing Program, I was wondering if once I become an RN could i be paid more for being Bi Lingual? At my current job we are paid 10% for being bi-lingual I am not sure though how Hopsitals look at this specialty.

it's not on the top of my resume, but I do highlight on my resume that I speak more than 1 language and other dialogs too. The hospital I did rotation at were just grateful that someone could speak other languages, because they did not have anyone at all who spoke my language. It was very helpful in the ER and on the med surg floor. I am so grateful for my having the ability to help and once you graduate you will know how useful your ability can contribute to these patients in the hospital. It brings nurse-patient relationship closer when you speak their language and that they know that you care for them from the bottom of your heart.
