What Are The Challenges Of Communication In Nursing

It is apparent that nurses face many challenges while becoming and being a nurse. Like in any occupation, there are some aspects that are more challenging to achieve, but that does not give permission to downplay the importance of these challenging tasks. I see barriers in communication, between nurses, as one of the main challenges that nurses will face. Why? Because there is so much for nurses to talk about. Nurses are always talking if not with each other then with patients and family. There are skills that a nurse can learn and study, but I believe that communication, is a skill that needs to be accomplished through practice, and will only improve with experience.

Paul discusses how patience can pick up on vibes of a nurse feeling unsure or incompetent, and if communication between nurses is lacking or inadequate, then it could create anxiety in a client (2013). Creating adequate English requirements for students enrolling in nursing would be beneficial, to ensure that everyone is on the same skill level. Although it is difficult to achieve this requirements’ for people who have a dominant languages other than English, it is a working progress to make translation and standard terminology more understandable. It is our responsibility as nurses to be as educated as we can in aspects that will improve the quality of care we get, and its not just the facts of science and literature that count, but that of the mind and spirit of an individual as
