“…In clinical settings, the consequences of such low proficiency may affect not only the student's professional future but also the well-being of patients, patients' families and friends, and the reputation of the clinic. Owing to the frequency of communicative conflict between care providers and patients (Cameron and Williams 1997;Fisher 1995;Freeman 1987;Gozzi, Morris, and Korsch 1969;Herselman 1996;McTear and King 1991;Prince 1985;Shuy 1983;Weijts, Houtkoop, and Mullen 1993;West 1985), one may doubt the wisdom of placing non-nativespeaking (NNS) nurses with modest levels of linguistic c o m p e tence in clinical contexts. Yet, given the need for clinical experience, this is precisely what occurs in many graduate schools of nursing.…”

Because clinical experience is essential for nursing education, even students with modest‐to‐low proficiency in English as a second language (ESL) receive training and provide care in clinics. Yet modest‐to‐low language proficiency could prove hazardous for the students or their patients. Therefore, these nursing students would benefit from special classes in ESL Such classes require prior needs analyses that precisely articulate academic and clinical language needs. These needs statements serve as suggestions for course content. Reported here are the results of an extensive needs analysis for ESL‐speaking graduate nursing students. The approach to needs definition derives from Stufflebeam et al. (1985). The analysis focuses on skills required for school, clinical practice, and interaction with a multicultural, socially stratified patient population. Resulting needs statements are organized in terms of (1) Speech Production Accuracy, (2) Academic Performance, (3) Clinical Performance, (4) Dialect (Cultural) Variation, and (5) Inferencing Skills.

Most of the 450 child health conferencevisits documented were fairly stereotyped, with nurses as well as physicians focusing on physical examinations, immunizations, and feeding advice and with little attention to psychosocial content. Comprehensive patient care clearly is not yet expected by mothers attending well child clinics. Parents must learn that psychosocial concerns and behavioral problems are legitimate topics for discussion, and doctors and nurses must initiate and encourage this type of discussion explicitly in well child care. It has been accepted for many years that well child care should be comprehensive in nature and should include attention to the social and emotional components of child health and development. In the absence of specific medical problems, one of the basic purposes of regular visits for well child care is to offer anticipatory guidance, supervise developmental progress, help the family with child rearing problems, and deal with mi¬ nor emotional abnormalities or diffi¬ culties in family relationships in a
