The health professions have their own language. English is the lingua franca in a health care context and a health. So, Medical colleges and nursing colleges in all countries should go beyond the ‘ Conversation English’  offer special Medical English programs for pre-service and in-service healthcare personnel. The curricula of these programs take a humanistic, patient-centered, task-based approach, promoting and developing sensitive counseling skills in English, in addition to teaching the specific vocabulary and lexis of physician-patient interaction. It will provide the avenue for membership in the profession in the new context as well as the satisfaction of being able to work safely within a new or foreign language. The concept of safety to practice is identified as a professional standard of practice in nursing, medicine and health care.

English for specific for  nurse different from general English. Lecture materials more focused on the development of communication skills of the medical field. In the course of four basic language skills are also developed, both speaking, listening, reading and writing. For example study Names of wards in hospital, expression of giving instructions to patients, asking patient's health condition, asking Patient’s Identity. This is in accordance with the practice in the field that prospective medical personnel requires the four language skills.

            When I visited to STIKES PAYUNG NEGRI  i ask question with some student in there and my question 1. Why do they need English?  And they answer  they do it for; a) exam or course requirement, b) for future work, by improving their skill, c) further education, d) literature research for diploma work. And they said” Speaking is foremost for them, that it is to communicate with patients and doctors; even they will need it for doing conversation with people out of country to share about anything, that firstly regarding the job necessity. Learning certain technical terms in nursing as enhancing their vocabulary is the second skill that they want to. It will really help them to do their works as nursing; to understand the names of medicines, medical equipment  written in English, and also about the names of sickness. Reading by them as the third needed to be mastered by them by no reasons.

So, I think the English for nurse is very important and very suitable for student in STIKES PAYUNG  NEGRI, because in course many study about health and areas health can be help the student practice in nursing, medicine and health care. And English for nursing designed specifically for learners who possess some familiarity with the English language and who want to learn a specific aspect to communicate within their chosen profession. Specifically, her material is designed for all nurses and medical professionals who have an interest in learning career-specific English relevant to their work or studies.
