Medical Spanish Pocketcard Set

These cards are easy to use and helpful.I do not use Spanish often enough to retain it but it is so nice to be able to help and it relaxes the patients to hear familiar words.

Great pocket reference for work. includes phrases pertinent to the medical field. Very useful.

got it in a timely manner and it had very little to work from...but a quick basic review. Ok.

this pocketcard is very simply to use and understand.
the size is a little bit big
but it incluide the most important medical words and questions.

As a nurse in Dallas TX, you HAVE to know some spanish, as anywhere from 1-3 of your patients each day is spanish-speaking only. I had the misfortune of growing up in Tennessee (I got to TX as soon as I could =-), so I chose to learn French earlier which hasn't helped me so far in communicating to a single patient. Anyway, this little guy fits in your pocket but is a bit tall. It's got almost all of the essentials like body parts, common diseases, numbers, tells you how to say I've called a translator...etc. But I've found that the middle two pages don't help very much to a floor nurse- they're just kinda random questions and statements. I love how it's plastic though and you can just wipe it off with alcohol or whatever so you won't spread cooties. Pretty good bang for the buck.
