ELLA Nursing Vocabulary
ELLA Nursing Vocabulary collects the phrases and words a nurse uses with patients and colleagues when working in English. The page opens with what to say on first meeting a patient, then lists the common symptoms a patient describes, the procedures and treatments a nurse carries out or explains, and the types of medication, each word with a short plain-English definition.
100% Free (unlimited): The page is open with no account and nothing held back: the patient phrases, the symptoms, the procedures and the medication lists can all be read as they stand, and the other vocabulary articles it links to are open in the same way.
How It Helps Your Business English
Four groups of nursing language. First, phrases for meeting a patient and confirming who they are. Then seventeen common symptoms, from abdominal pain and bloating to vomiting, each with a plain definition. Then ten procedures and treatments, from bandaging to x-ray. Last, ten types of medication, from antibiotics to steroids, with what each one does.
You can learn the opening phrases first and use them word for word with a patient, since each one is given with what it is for. The symptom list gives you the words a patient is likely to use, in the plain form they would say them, so you can repeat them back and check you have understood. The medication list gives you the short explanation to offer when a patient asks.
