Sažetak
Teaching English to the nursing students involves equipping them with the knowledge and skills that will complement their nursing knowledge and skills in Croatian. Calling upon motivation intensively accelerates both teaching and learning processes, since motivation arises from the fact that the students are able to perceive the practical application of the ENP (English for Nursing Purposes) course they are taking part in. The prospects of the future career strongly emphasize the fact that being a health professional means being a lifelong learner. For that reason, the foundations need to be set within the ENP curriculum, preparing the students to be globally competitive critical thinkers and communicators, competent to link theory to practice, organize and categorize pieces of information, supported by best practice. Nursing case study in English, a third-year written assignment, therefore presents the opportunity for the students to provide an account of the surgical experience of a particular surgical patient they have been assigned to monitor and provide with a patient- focused nursing healthcare, using medical terminology in English. By doing that, they are able to demonstrate the nursing focus which incorporates assessment skills, clinical reasoning, evidence-based research and best practice.
