Wow, so today I had about 8-9 patients and half of them were spanish speaking only!!! 4 out of 8, that is crazy. I need to learn spanish! I took two years in high school and two semesters in college, but I pretty much let the bucket go dry on that one and forgot everything I knew. Well, not EVERYTHING. I still know quite a lot compared to nothing, but when you need to say medical-type phrases or ask questions, it is hard.
I'm thinking of purchasing a medical spanish book to refresh and learn some new phrases that related to medical/nursing stuff.

- I'm Nicole, a 28 year old Registered Nurse, BSN with a passion for all things health and balance. This blog has gone through many transformations and I have now accepted it as a hodge-podge of my life, consisting of food, fitness, nursing life, and a place to share. This journal was created a few years back to chronicle my journey through nursing school. I have since graduated and now work in the ICU. Currently, I am in the process of earning my Master's degree to become a Family Nurse Practitioner. Enjoying a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle, although difficult at times, is my on-going and ultimate goal! As a side note, all stories are composites of different patients, doctors, nurses, and situations. Details about stories have been changed to protect patient and healthcare worker identities. If any story sounds familiar to you, it is simply coincidence. Stories are fabricated for entertainment.
