  • Grammar Foundations: learn the fundamentals of English grammar as applied to a nursing context.
  • Communication Foundations: listen to different dialogues from common situations that nurses encounter in healthcare settings and answer questions about the information you hear.
  • Cultural Foundations: review different scenarios in which culture, not language and not medicine, is the main communication challenge.
