Methods Following the process of “needs analysis-curriculum objective setting-teaching content and method design-evaluation and feedback” in the ESP curriculum development model：the EGP-ESP transition course which includes three modules（foundation，improvement and development） was designed. After implementing the teaching for 49 upgraded students of Grade 2022 in a medical college in Jiangsu Province，the curriculum design was optimized based on their feedback and the learning needs of 69 nursing upgraded students of Grade 2023. Subsequently，the optimized curriculum was implemented for the Grade 2023 students. The teaching effect was evaluated through the course scores of Grade 2023 students，and the survey results on their perceived English proficiency and learning experience. Results The course score of 69 nursing upgraded students of Grade 2023 was 77.2（75.3，79.9）. There were 35 students（50.7%），33 students（47.8%），22 students（31.9%），18 students（26.1%） and 22 students（31.9%） who thought their listening，speaking，reading，writing，and translation abilities had been improved respectively，and the score for the change in interest in English learning was 10.0（0，28.5）. Students generally reflected the supporting value of the course in professional situational communication and cross-cultural understanding. Conclusion The EGP-ESP transition course is helpful to promote the development of English proficiency of college. upgraded nursing students，cultivating their adaptability to professional situations and enhancing humanistic literacy. Students have a high recognition of the course. In the future，the course needs to be continuously optimized in terms of system guarantee，stimulation of students’ learning motivation and the construction of situational resources.
