What does a foreign nurse who will be working in a Dutch healthcare facility need to know? What kind of Dutch needs a nurse be able to understand and speak?

It is obvious that the language of nursing care is more than every day Dutch. All kinds of specific jargon, such as ‘tillift’ or ‘voedingslijst’ are entirely normal and frequently used words. It is moreover very important to be able to understand the patient or resident as well as the doctor or a colleague when taking over a shift.

With this course foreign nurses can prepare themselves to the language part of working in a Dutch healthcare facility.
