English Communication for Nursing

English Communication for Nursing is an eight-unit book designed to equip nurses who wish to communicate effectively with English-speaking patients in the health-care setting. The book features helpful vocabulary and expressions, realistic patient-nurse dialogs that simulate hospital interactions, cultural tips, practice activities, and samples of documents that patients may encounter in the hospital. The book exposes learners to the necessary vocabulary for nursing while providing ample listening and speaking practice.

Each unit focuses on aspects of medical care like checking in to a hospital, surgery, medications, pain management, pediatrics, orthopedics, gastroenterology, and cardiology. An appendix provides additional language with dialogs between co-workers within the hospital setting.

The book can be used as stand-alone material, or it can be used with a series of online videos that will enhance listening skills. English Communication for Nursing will guide learners in building the confidence to speak in English with patients and will assist them in developing their overall communication skills.
