Subject: Jobs? Niche market?
Posted by Melodie /Canada/ on 2009-07-21

Hi, Paul. Thanks for writing and sharing something about yourself. You are correct that teaching English for Nursing or Medical Purposes is a niche market. However, there are some jobs out there. If you are searching within the USA or Canada, simply hit the CONTACT US button and I can supply some names of reputable colleges for you. If you are considering working abroad, I would like to recommend a university in Dhaka, Bangladesh from which I just returned on a professional development/working vacation project. This school offers a fabulous opportunity to get your feet wet in teaching and living abroad, but only provides free room and board: no wages. Even so, it is worth it! Good job and decent accomodations. CONTACT US if you are interested in that. Otherwise, have you tried the job board at Dave's ESL CAfe? Fantastic resource however, don't apply for any of those jobs until you also check what the teachers have to say about them. There is another page on that site for INternational Experiences or something like that which is full of comments, reports, pro's and con's from people who've worked in these places worldwide. Very interesting reading. Bye for now, Melodie Hull

Just a note to say that we have answered Paul in a personal email. It is always a pleasure to speak with health professionals with a secondary interest in teaching English for nursing or medical purposes. Melodie

Subject: Books are 'great'
Posted by David M /Canada/ on 2009-02-22

Hi Melodie, R. sent the books on from Cranbrook and they have arrived. Thanks for making them available for him to do that. I've had a chance to quickly review them and they are great - just what I was looking for. It is true they have a Canadian orientation but they will still be very useful in the E.U. We leave for Estonia later in the month and I am anxious to test the market for teaching Medical English to Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacists etc. - thank you again for making the these preliminary materials available. Kindest regards David M, Pharmacist, TESL

Subject: Beware of publishers
Posted by Melodie /Canada/ on 2005-03-19

Hi... just wanted to share some information related to this very interesting conference. We were offered an opportunity to submit our papers to the Journal of US-China Medical Science. Mine was accepted HOWEVER... they wanted $300 USD to publish my work! Academic journals DO NOT, DO NOT charge this sort of fee! Unheard of! (Of course, I declined the offer.) Please beware if you are attempting to be published in any academic journal. Melodie

Hello. How nice to hear from someone in Mongolia. I do not offer courses in English for Nurses and Medical Personnel, so I cannot help you with your inquiry. Sorry. Melodie in Canada

Subject: NursingESL for foreign nurses
Posted by jasbir banwait /Canada/ on 2002-02-01

I took Nursing ESL course in Jan.2002 after a long two year wait writing AMERICAN TOEFL exam .This score has never taught me Canadian medical pronounciation, slang and technical language used in CANADIAN HOSPITALS.These exams are really epensive too.So, I strongly urge RNABC to recommend course like this, to students offered by MELODIE HULL at CLAYTON INTERNATIONAL.

Hi, I'm a teacher and I would like to know a little bit more about these books: Where I can get them, If they are suitable for beginners, Are they any good for junior doctors? Can I see a sample?etc. Ana

Subject: Ordering?
Posted by melodie hull /Canada/ on 2009-10-22

Dear Ana: Thank-you for your letter of inquiry. I am attaching a blank invoice to help you with your order. All materials are designed in the realm of English for Specific Purposes. This means that an intermediate command of the English language is required. They most certainly are suitable for medical students, but I am not sure what you mean by the term ‘junior doctors’. If I can provide any more information or clarity, please do not hesitate to reply to this letter. When you do so, I will send you some sample material from the workbooks. Very truly, Melodie Hull, RPN, MSC, MED, BA, PID, TESOL Nurse-Educator and Consultant Canada

Subject: Korean Nurses Adjustment in the USA
Posted by Melodie /Canada/ on 2008-01-01

Hi, everyone: You might find this article interesting. 'Korean Nurses Adjustment to Hospitals in the USA' by Yi and Jezewski in the Journal of Advanced Nursing, Volume 32, Issue 3, September 2000. Take a look at the Korean nurses' subjective reports on overcoming language barriers and accepting USA nursing practices. I believe this information supports the work I am doing with English for Nurses/English for Medical Purposes. Your thoughts?
