English for Nurses is a sourcebook for nurses, who have little or no English language learning experience and whose jobs require them to communicate with English-speaking patients. The book centres on the intensive practise through dialoque of important lexical collocations, correct grammatical structure and vocabulary around which more complex language can be built.
