What Nurses Think About the Online Course:

Scron [website] helped me learn key medical Spanish phrases that I can use everyday when helping my patients. The repetitiveness of the modules really help the phrases and words to sink it. Scron made learning a new language simple and fun!

The lessons are very helpful and have a great concept going for them.

This course [helps you] learn the basic tools and words needed to provide care for those patients who speak Spanish.

There is a great need for health care workers to have this knowledge and basic skill set so we can better take care of all people we come in contact with and need to provide care to.
