In a nation where 35.5 million people identify Spanish as their primary language, it’s no wonder that bilingual healthcare workers are valuable entities. The ability to speak Spanish is a resume booster, and may be the skill that would make a hiring hospital choose you over the competition. Kaplan’s Spanish for Nurses by Rudy Valenzuela, RN is a priceless tool for those who need a brush up in the Spanish language. It has a review of basic Spanish (numbers, days of the week, family members, etc) and chapters including:
- Review of the systems
- Diagnostic tests
- Nursing interventions
- In the emergency room
- In the maternity ward
