About
Survival Spanish for Nurses was born at the bedside-and at home.
It began when a labor & delivery nurse would come home with questions she couldn't answer in Spanish, revealing a real gap in bedside communication.Built by an experienced educator and a labor & delivery nurse, this program focuses on practical phrases nurses actually use- without grammar drills, memorization, or prior Spanish experience.
Who This is For
