The student may understand everything there is to know about cleaning wounds, taking precautions with patients on blood thinners and how to properly bathe an elderly patient, but they still can't spell ostomy or Coumadin or sputum.  [Read More](https://blog.ehrtutor.com/2015/01/16/teaching-idea-spelling-for-nursing-and-allied-health-students) ## [Latin Lessons and Medical Terminology?](https://blog.ehrtutor.com/2014/03/27/latin-lessons-and-medical-terminology) Mar 27, 2014 6:11:00 PM / by [user](https://blog.ehrtutor.com/author/user) posted in [medical terminology](https://blog.ehrtutor.com/topic/medical-terminology), [free resources](https://blog.ehrtutor.com/topic/free-resources), [Nursing Students](https://blog.ehrtutor.com/topic/nursing-students) [0 Comments](https://blog.ehrtutor.com/2014/03/27/latin-lessons-and-medical-terminology#comments-listing) During the Pennsylvania HOSA State Leadership Conference, we met with a vendor who sold, in addition to other materials, Latin textbooks.
