UNIT 1 Language Spot

Im writing to say thank you for the birthday car, and tell you how I get on. The course is hard work, but I enjoy it so far. We usually have classes every morning, but this week Im working in Geriatrics all day. Its interesting, although of course I want to work as a scrub nurse. On the geriatric ward Im making beds and checking patients blood pressure and temperature. I learn a lot, and the experience is very useful. I go out most Saturday nights, but stay in and study on other days. Tomorrow Im going to a restaurant for my birthday! Im making a lot of friends, but I wish you were here too. Write to me!

Very few nurses work full-time, 40 hours per week, because salaries are decent and most hospitals give you benefits at part time status. 5.

Dear Mr Keane Here are the directions you asked for from the railway station to the City Hospital Renal Unit. Leave the railway station at the main entrance. Turn left and walk along Station Street for about 100 metres. Go through the road to the number 45 bus stop. Take the bus to the hospital. Get off the bus opposite the hospital. Walk along Byron Avenue and take the turn left. The door to Renal Unit is on your right. The Renal Unit is next to the hospital research library. Regards Alicia Marcos
