FOREWORD

It is evitable the difficulty to find nursing teachers write book or any publication, including

well-designed teaching materials. Many factors interplay to obstruct the writing intention

among the teachers, including skill in book writing, resource and workload. Lack of

exercise and unrecognition of how to begin writing also obvious.

Be aware of this weaknesess and increasing demanding of books, encouraging the teachers

to intiate a very simple writing is crucial. For this purpose, teachers in Nursing Study

Program of Politeknik Kesehatan Surabaya are motivated to prepare teaching moduls for

the students. It is benefit the independent learning of students.

I indebtly appriciated, Yohanes Kambaru Windi, S.Pd., M.Kes., MPH, to start a simple-

small step in designing a reading resource of general english for our nursing students. This

resource will be basic for the students to bridge their mind using english in nursing

atmosphere.

It is, therefore, we grateful of the writing of this teaching book entitled “Students Book:

General English for Nursing Students”. I proudly acknowledged that this book has been

used by nursing students at Politeknik Kesehatan Surabaya since 2009. Finally, this

achivement may encouraged the author and other teachers to be more productive in the

provision of reading resources for the students.
