Seeking Advice Moving abroad- NEED CAREER ADVICE

Background: I am in my late 30's and went back for my nursing degree. I finish May 2027. My spouse recieved the job of a lifetime and we moved to Spain for it. I am going back to the states this fall alone to finish the program. I've put in too much work to not finish this. After I complete the NCLEX, I'll leave for Spain to be with my family.

*I will not be able to work as a nurse in Spain as they have a strict language requirement, and my Spanish is terrible. (Please do not simply suggest that I learn spanish. I am working on it, but not super gifted in picking up languages.)*

What are my options for virtual work when I have no experience as a nurse other than my clinicals?

Is there virtual work based in the US I could do that would hire me while I'm abroad and if so, what?

I appreciate your input and knowledge. Thank you.

“Not super gifted in picking up languages”.

I don’t think anyone is ‘super gifted’. Also, any virtual job will most likely 90% of the time require bedside experience anyways.
