Why: Ask these participants who completed the FIRST Reality Spanish for Healthcare in July:
Here are some testimonials that I gathered from healthcare professionals who completed my FIRST Reality Spanish for Healthcare class at St. Vincent Frankfort hospital on July 23, 2009.
"I'm able to talk to Hispanic patients and make them feel more at ease with the whole surgery process. I don't see as much fear or apprehension in their eyes. I even get a few laughs at my attempts to speak Spanish! "
--Cheryl, surgical tech
"I feel much more comfortable. I actually had a problem with a patient having a conflict with an appointment and was able to resolve the issue--and I wasn't stressed out while handling it! :)"
--Sharon, RN
"I found a family in the hallway looking lost and was able to tell them where the lab was. I ran into a family looking for Marci (the interpreter) when she was off, and I was able to tell them she would be gone for a few days. I spoke to a little boy on the elevator in Spanish. He was really surprised, and responded."
--Donna, patient billing
"I have become less nervous when speaking with Hispanic patients. I can communicate better with Spanish-speaking patients using basic commands."
--Vicky, nursing support staff
