Hi Prem,
First of all your wife will need to have her diploma revalidated here in Brazil (see link below for my posting on that subject).

Second, nurses here are very poorly paid in the public health system, hospitals, etc. I would recommend that she try looking at private hospitals, health insurance companies and the like which would pay considerably better.

Hi Prem,
Yes, it would be IMPOSSIBLE to function as a nurse here without speaking Portuguese fluently. How would one communicate with patients or understand doctors' order for patients otherwise? One would need an extremely advanced level of fluency or it could prove to be dangerous.
In São Paulo the best hospitals are Hospital das Clinicas, São Paulo Hospital, Albert Einstein Hospital and Hospital Sírio-Libanês.
I don't think that hospitals, in general, would assist in the immigrations or work permit area in any way.
There is no way of predicting how long it would take to obtain the work permit because it depends on the permanent visa process and the Federal Police take their own sweet time to do anything.... nothing is quick and easy.
