Nurse Podcast Transcription

Hello, and welcome to this edition of One2one podcasts. Today, I’m focussing on the medical sector, particularly nurses taking English exams.

There are two parts: the first will help you pronounce essential vocabulary you will need for an exam, and the second is a listening task to help you identify with spelling.

Good luck with the tasks, and remember, we help prepare you for the IELTS and CELPIP exams. The tasks featured in this podcast will help you with some of the tasks you will be expected to complete in both these exams.

Listen carefully to the following vocabulary:

Nurse

The nurse administered the vaccine.

The Doctor wanted a second opinion.

The hospital was only a 20-minute drive from the City centre.

Clinic

Surgery

The patient underwent surgery for a cancerous growth.

Medication

Medication is only available on prescription.

Diagnosis

A biopsy is needed before a diagnosis can be made.

Outpatients must go to the treatment centre between 8 am and 7 pm.
