: ESP courses have paved the way for many. Conversely, concerning nursing students, there are limited researchers who have specifically analyzed English language teaching. Also, it is important to note that there is no explicit survey about the challenges faced by ESP learners, particularly in the development of LSRW skills with reference to Nursing. Therefore, this paper addresses this gap. Relevant literature suggests that ESP practitioners have to actively indulge in action research as well as keep themselves abreast with the ongoing research in the field of ESP. The findings of this study strongly suggest that no single teaching methodology can be sufficient to address the diverse and peculiar needs of ESP learners. Therefore ESP practitioners have to pick and choose from a host of teaching methodologies to run an effective ESP course. It is also important that ESP practitioners run ESP courses in collaboration with content teachers and these courses require unique methodologies that are governed by scientific analyses of the diverse specific learner's needs.
