Would becoming bilingual be useful in nursing?

Published

I'm thinking of learning Spanish as a second language. Do you think this is a valuable skill in your nursing practice? Would it be worth the time and effort it takes to learn it?

Specializes in Emergency.

Most definitely!

I really wish I would have taken Spanish rather than French in high school.

Although I have picked up some medical spanish just from working, I wish I knew more. I have even suggested a medical spanish class to our unit educator, and she told me that they have tried it in the past, and no one wanted to enroll.
