i'm already bilingual & i feel like that would help me understand other languages & learn them faster. as for learning medical terms in japanese, no problem.
what i'm really worried about is immigrating there & being able to stay there & stuff what with everyone saying japan is one of the hardest place to move to. -_- |
I actually translated a Japanese nurse's course load, as she was trying to get her certification in the US. It was at least three solid years of classes, and it didn't look like a walk in the park.
But I think your biggest problem is going to be getting in. I know many doctors, dentists and nurses in Japan study German, as many of the medical terms come from German.
You will need to be certified in Japan, which will more than likely mean graduating from a Japanses nursing school.
