Congratulations on your graduation and licensure. Your prowess with languages will be an enormous asset to you. I don't know the answer to any of your specific questions about salary or licensure, but I've known many American nurses who worked in Saudi Arabia. They all say the salary was a big incentive, but they also appreciated the opportunity to get to know a different culture and experience adventures in another country.

I hope you find the answers you're looking for on AN, and wish you the best.

OP: Insane idea to me, prowess with languages or not.
