Harrisburg Area Community College has a growing ESL population, and many
currented enrolled ESL students plan to enter our nursing program when
they complete the series of 4 ESL courses.  In the past, former ESL
students have experienced great difficulty in the nursing program
because of language issues. Learning Support Services hopes to offer
support to these students in the form of workshops or perhaps a one
credit course offering language support in the content area.  

If anyone has experiences to share about offering support for ESL
nursing students, I would be very pleased to receive it.
