There is not enough time given for learners to look up the questions. They have to know them well before taking the exam or they will not pass. The certification exam costs $100, but the exam prep course is free with the purchase of this textbook (see above). In the exam prep lessons, a practice exam can be taken unlimited times to prepare for the final exam.The Theories Behind the CourseThis course was designed based on many pedagogical (learning) and neuroscience (brain science) theories that the author studied in-depth during his Master's degree in Language Pedagogy and throughout his career as Director of the U.S. Institute of Languages. Negotiating a ConversationThe approach this course uses recognizes that it takes new Spanish speakers years to become fluent. However, if a nurse learns the medical vocabulary and strategies to properly negotiate a conversation, (s)he can learn to work through virtually any situation in a relatively short period of time. For example, if a patient says something a nurse doesn't understand, the nurse can ask them to repeat it or say it slower. If a nurse doesn't know how to say something, (s)he can point to it and ask ¿Cómo se dice? (How do you say that.) These and many other techniques that are taught to help a nurse work through new situations.Use of TechnologyThe use of technology can be very helpful to get through tricky situations. However, if a nurse only uses technology, this provides a poor patient experience and demonstrates poor bedside manner. Also, if only technology is used, body language and gestures are missed and the meaning can be misinterpreted. It is recommended that the nurse continue learning as much as possible using this course and software, then use technology to fill in the gap.
