The pay rates are also low. Money wise you are better off working at 'home'. Experience wise you'll have better contact with 'the people' if you do work. A general nursing qualification and experience is probably easiest to get a job anywhere rather than a specialist.

The Duvals (OZies) spent some time learning Spanish .. they went to Mexico or Brazil ? and staid with a local family while they learn it.. probably a very good way of doing it. their blog is around here somewhere on the HU. Depends on where you go as to what language you should learn. The most universals are Spanish, French and German.
