Re: Nurse Practitioners en español?

[Guest guest]

I will recommend against using the term enfermera/o practicante.

For Mexican Spanish speaking farmworkers, the term practicante means in

training. In my experience the use of the term practicante encourage

patient mistrust in the skills and knowledge of the NP. Farmworker on the

other hand, accept and respect the term enfermero/a especialista as someone

with advance training.

Thanks

Subject: Nurse Practitioners en español?

Nurse Practitioners provide a large portion of health services to migrant workers and their families.

How is the title "nurse practitioner" being translated into Spanish? We've been using 'enfermero/a especialista' but have recently been advised to use 'enfermero/a practicante'. Neither term really reflects 'nurse practitioner' too well. In the clinic setting, most clients use the title 'doctor/a' but that is usually not the correct title and we don't want to promote that inaccuracy. We're creating a brief brochure explaining NP services, so we want to put into print a title that is as meaningful and accurate as possible. What are other folks using? Gracias.

: A good question... Years ago someone gave me the term

" enfermera/o especializada/o " , which is what I have always used. I'm not

sure any of them are what we want but, let's face it, " nurse practitioner "

is confusing to a lot of English speakers!
