HouTx, thanks for the information. Using only certified personnel seems much safer. That sounds easy for me. Getting the nursing degree, another matter...

Yes. I'm always disappointed (irrationally) that just knowing the language doesn't automatically mean someone offers you a job. Best of luck. I'm also considering developing an English conversation textbook for Japanese nurses. They love to travel and are quite cosmopolitan.

amoLucia, thanks for the reply. I'm actually working in medical translation now (with NO formal medical training/study: standard practice here in Japan) and am desperate to get out of the field, at least in a full time capacity. Ideal would be working in Japan or Taiwan and interpreting while practicing. Other than the military option you mention, it seems quite a long shot.

Hello. I'm currently a translator fluent in Chinese and Japanese and am considering going back to school for a BSN. I would like to utilize my language skills and was just curious if anyone had heard of job opportunities in nursing involving these languages or in international settings. Any info would be appreciated.

weird question, but: is it possible to take a&p 1&2 all in one semester?? i want to get my prereqs out of the way quickly.... thank you!
