Abstract

The law requires that certified interpreters are available to translate information to patients regarding their healthcare. Due to perceived barrier of time, Hispanic bilingual nurses are regularly called upon to fill this gap in communication. This study investigates the Hispanic bilingual nurse's perspective on being pulled from their primary assignment to translate for patients other than their own. The purpose of this study was to understand Hispanic bilingual nurses' perceptions and experiences translating at the bedside.
