オーストラリアでナースを目指す！！

看護英語コースではこれといってテキストがなく、時折配られるプリントと授業のノートが命です。授業のノートを見直しがしやすいようにパソコンに打ち込んでいるのだけれど、せっかくなので日記にも載せていくことにしました。

といってもあくまでも自分のノートなので私しか理解できないような不可解な点が沢山あるでしょうし、スペルや文法のミスがあるかも知れません。ご了承ください。

さて、今日の授業はNurding Careのクラスで、バイタルサイン測定の中でも体温測定とチャートの取り扱いを中心に学びました。

午前中半分は実習室で患者とナースのロールプレイを交えた練習。
後半は体温測定に関わる言語や英会話

午後は語学のクラスでライティングについて学びました。

以下今日の午前分のノート
