Hi Guen and welcome. You are doing the right thing by trying to learn Italian first. There are plenty of immersion courses offered in Italy. Perhaps someone with experience will let you know.Best luck regarding your plans.

it was announced on the radio the other day how many thousands (2.980)of full time new nurses are required by the national health system here.of course language would be an issue but i've noticed they are hiring polish/brazilian and other nationalities to try to fill the gaps.my modest suggestion would be try to get a position in a good university hospital with a good reputation as the possibilities also of advancement are better and everything else.apart from the bigger better hospitals in the north there are also some very good hospitals in central italy like Ancona,Perugia,some Roman hospitals etc,the south is another story however.like nursing everywhere it's a lot of underpaid hard work but as a public employee there is job security,and other advantages which these days are not to be underestimated.in the meantime get your qualifications translated properly and any important relevant referencesgood luck.
