A nurse is a highly skilled health care professional who combines the art of caring with scientific knowledge and skills developed through their education and career. NURSING can be a lifelong career which is recognized worldwide and which will enable you to take advantage of an international NURSING career.
2 A nurse is involved in the education of patients around health and disease processes, health promotion activities, clinical procedures and management of NURSING processes. NURSING enables you to work in a diverse range of settings including hospitals, community settings, general practices, prisons, homes and residential settings. There is also a diverse range of areas of practice which a nurse may choose to work in. Questions: did you decide to become a nurse? do you want to be a nurse? do you think will be the most rewarding parts of being a nurse? do you expect to be the most difficult aspects of being a nurse? type of nurse do you want to be? establishments do you want to work in?
3 Do you want to work (city, region, country)? are the parts of your NURSING studies you enjoy, and which do you find difficult?Practical Exercise: Involving the entire class, one student will ask another one or two of the above questions, and perhaps have a short conversation, and that student in turn asks another until everyone in the class has spoken. SEMESTRE 1 VERSION 2 MAJ 30082019 3 ENGLISH in IFSI Read the text, answer the questions, and share with the class. In 2009 a European Directive made medical ENGLISH training a requirement for NURSING and other para-medical students. In France, this means primarily in being able to communicate with patients who cannot speak French, whether it be native ENGLISH speakers or those who use ENGLISH as a second language.

Communication is a vital part of a nurse s work. To be able to do so efficiently, whether for asking questions or providing information, a simple method is used to remember what to say: the 5Ws Method. The 5 Ws are those words used to form the most frequent questions: Who, What, Where, When, and Why. There are of course other question words.
5 But in most situations the 5Ws provide most of the information needed.
