Spanish for Healthcare Workers

U.S.A. Arizona

Published

I am done with prerecs (hopefully- waiting on transcript review) and plan to apply to NAU- Tucson for the traditional BSN program for Fall. In the meantime, I'm wondering if it would be helpful for me to take spanish 101 or spanish for health care workers?

Has anyone taken the HC spanish? It looks like it is the same as Spanish 101 but with an emphasis on health care vocab. There's also a conversational spanish I. I'm really torn about which course (if any) I should take.

I already have a 2nd language (latin) for transfer so I'm not concerned about credit. I'm mainly looking into it for my own benefit once I'm working. Is one semester enough to be useful? I could probably take the 2nd semester during summer term before NS if it would be beneficial. I know I probably won't be fluent or anything but for those of you working in Arizona would you consider it worth the time and money?

Hey Southern Mag, did you ever take the class? Does it help? Of course the patients will need interpreters but it would be nice to just know a few words here and there to even say, eat this, do that, etc. I was thinking of taking the class too. let me know.
