Welcome!

This space has been created for your ENG150 course (English for Nursing) at the Cyprus University of Technology.

The purpose of this wiki is to collaboratively create a Glossary of Nursing Terms, which will prove to be really useful both in your academic and professional life. Members of this Glossary Project are groups 1, and 3 (taught by Stavroulla Hadjiconstantinou) and groups 6 and 7 (taught by Christina Yerou-Kokou).

Throughout the semester, you will be guided to add nursing terms in this glossary by working in groups. The glossary is alphabetically organised, so entries should be made accordingly. To help you find the information required, you may use the Resources link (look on the navigation menu on the left). You are welcome to suggest alternative resources which you might find useful and would like to share.

The following groups are responsible for the entries of the following units: Groups 1 + 3 : Units 1,3, 5, 7 and 13 Groups 6 +7 : Units 2, 4, 6, 9 and 14

Each glossary entry should include the following: (1) the word/ term (in **bold CAPITAL letters**) (2) part of speech in parentheses (...) (3) definition of the word/ term (4) an example sentence (5) translation of the word/term in Greek (in //italics//)

The following entries have been prepared as an example and have been added to the Glossary:

//Τμήμα Πρώτων Βοηθειών/ Τμήμα Επειγόντων Περιστατικών// // θάλαμος //
 * CASUALTY** (noun) = the part of a hospital where people who are hurt in accidents or suddenly become ill are taken for urgent treatment - She had to be rushed to casualty
