The characteristics of students entering tertiary education, including nursing programmes has changed in recent years, with a large majority studying with English as a second language (ESL). There is a high attrition of students in first year nursing education, due to failure in Anatomy and Physiology (A&P). This study aimed to determine whether ESL affects nursing students’ success in A&P and whether there was a relationship between matric scores and those of A&P. A quantitative descriptive survey design was used to investigate whether ESL impacts on the success of first year student nurses in A&P. Respondents (n=248) with English as a first language achieved significantly higher marks in A&P1 than ESL students (p=0.003). There was also a positive correlation between A&P scores and matriculation points. We conclude that ESL students are disadvantaged when studying A&P in the English language and that interventions are required to improve learning in these students.
