Good verbal communication is an inseparable part of professional communication. In a business, I believe you come across people from various ages, cultures and races. Fluent verbal communication is essential, to deal with people in important meetings or other events/situations. I also think that a self-confidence plays a vital role which when clubbed with fluent communication skills can lead to success and I make sure I don’t forget this when communicating in my job role.

Cook Children’s has achieved accreditation by the Commission of Collegiate Nursing Education. This is important to me as it shows the quality and integrity of the residency program and I am assured that I will receive the best training and education available to me. I enjoy learning and I believe that a residency at Cook Children’s will allow me to stay up to date with nursing skills, policies, procedures, and give me an opportunity to further my education through my experiences. In the residency program, I will complete over 1,800 hours of individual clinical experience with a nurse preceptor. The amount of individual clinical hours ensures that I will be able to start my career with confidence that will help me further as a new graduate nurse. With the high achievements that Cook Children’s has obtained, I believe that I will have an outstanding platform to begin my nursing career that will aid me in becoming a nurse with the ability to continue to learn and grow in the profession. Upon completion of this residency I expect to have a solid foundation of pediatric nursing that I can build on. Cook Children’s has several values which include caring, safety, integrity, collaboration, innovation, and giving. I will demonstrate caring by listening to my patients and their families. I will be an advocate for patients and treat them holistically. I will try to minimize fears by explaining procedures to patients, keeping them updated on their treatment, and answering any

As I begin my fifth year of working as a nurse practitioner in a leading children’s hospital, I am certain the pediatric acute care setting is where I will continue my career of service to children and their families. Although I hold a masters degree in nursing and have been a primary care certified pediatric nurse practitioner for many years, I wish to expand my knowledge of pediatric nursing to encompass the unique and challenging aspects of pediatric acute care.

Communication for me of the verbal kind has never been a challenge, I love meeting new people, and I love talking with new people, I am a people person to say the least. My personality under pressure supersedes any negativity that is happening around me, I don’t believe that negative things should overcome the positive, and I see every situation in life as one with positivity. I am an excellent verbal communicator, especially in the work place. I must be, because I am a particular person when it comes to most things in life, not to say I am stubborn, unwilling or unable

In order to learn more in depth about the characteristics that make up a successful nurse, I interviewed my female aunt who is a working, registered nurse in Arizona at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. She is forty-six years old and has been a registered nurse for the past seventeen years after graduating with an associate’s degree. My aunt has had the pleasure of working and gaining experience in the areas of pediatrics, as well as in labor and delivery nursing. Just like my aunt, I have always had a passion for children and babies and would like to see myself working in similar areas someday. Although, I am open minded about broadening my nursing abilities and gaining experience from multiple different areas of nursing. Branching out into different

My mother has worked at Children’s Hospital in Birmingham for over thirty-five years. Through her experience, I have learned that nursing requires strong people with dedication and compassion for others. I have also learned that nursing can be fulfilling because of the opportunities to help and to heal people. I hope to live intentionally and desire my career to be interesting and purposeful.

I am eager to pursue a career in which is challenging but rewarding, becoming a paediatric nurse would allow me to fulfil this aspiration. Nursing is a career for those who are reliable, empathetic, patient and know how to develop a connection with a patient emotionally as well as their family through difficult times. I have these skills and I truly want to make a difference in a patient's life. In the NHS, the role of a nurse is changing every day, as nurses are getting opportunities to become more involved in the responsibility of patients well-being and health and to become more specialised in different areas such as chemotherapy, surgery, clinical and much more. In studying for a degree in paediatric nursing I am inspired to make most of these opportunities to further my career.

One type of communication is interpersonal, including in groups and face to face interactions. In every type of communication each person has both strengths and weaknesses. One of my strengths is I am good at starting conversations. On campus I work for SPiRiT, I work in the admissions office and help to give tours on weekdays and on event days on the weekends. Giving these tours I have to know how to talk to the students and their families. Also, when I am trying to befriend people if I want to I am good at finding conversation topics at picking up the conversation if it fades off. One of my interpersonal communication weaknesses is being able to put my opinion in. If I am in a big

Throughout life we express ourselves through words. The way we present ourselves through speech says a lot about our character. The way one speaks to others can jeopardize the amount of respect and trust others have for them. From the way one pronounces a word to their posture can affect the way an audience interprets what is being said. Personally, I am not confident with my speaking skills at this point. I would like my audience to fully comprehend the concepts or facts that I would present to them. In order to do so I must improve my speaking skills I believe that a problem most people, including myself, have when giving speeches is facing an audience. Just looking out to an audience of a mere ten

"The power of vision is the starting point. Once you have established your goal, you need to develop your communication skills so that you can share your vision with the rest of the world and create something unique," Tips on starting your own winning business. (2011, March 9). This statement is true. I consider my communication skill good to excellent. As the daughter of two school teachers I have an excellent command of the English language and they taught me how to present myself in such a way to adapt to my audience and have a confidence in my words. These traits have allowed me to be successful in a number of various professions, but I find my ability to communicate with

The wonderful thing about communication is that it’s a skill that we can improve on. We can address subpar qualities in the way we communicate and we can make a conscious effort to develop and progress. While I reviewed the list there were two competencies that stood out as areas of opportunity. The first was combating the effects of the various types of physical, psychological, and semantic noise that distort messages. In my opinion, I think this is something that many of us could try to improve upon. When you take the various types of “noise” into account it’s easy to see how they can impede one’s ability to effectively communicate. I will look for ways to decrease how noise reduces my ability to effectively communicate by raising my awareness to noise. For example, if I’m speaking to someone on a construction site I need to be aware that the literal noise from the machine can run havoc on our conversation. If I’m speaking to someone who

Since decades child health have persisted in debilitating conditions throughout the world particularly in developing countries where child mortality rates remain elevated. Eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were proposed by United Nations in 2000 for its member states to be achieved by 2015. These MDGs provided guidance and direction to the national and global health priorities. Out of these eight MDGs, goal 4 was related to children mortality and target was set to reduce by two third, the under-five mortality rate in 2015 (WHO, 2014). The progress of MDG 4 was significant globally and the number of deaths in under 5 years of children dropped down to 6.6 million in 2012 compared to 12.6 million in 1990 (WHO, 2014). Whilst its burden

According to the World Health Organization (2013), nearly 7 million children under the age of five died in 2012. Most of these deaths are “due to preventable conditions: malnutrition, diarrhea, pneumonia, perinatal and neonatal complications, and communicable infectious diseases” (Garfunkel, 2011, p. 260). Currently, only 15% of countries with high child mortality are on pace to meet the Millennium Development Goal target (Chan, 2011). Some of the major barriers in

NCDs are not only one of the leading causes of premature death in low- and middle- income countries but they are also responsible for a majority of older adult deaths. Around the globe, the number of individuals over 60 years of age is increasing faster than any other age group due to longer life expectancy and declines in fertility rates (WHO, 2015d). Moreover, children are also vulnerable to risk factors that contribute to NCDs, such as unhealthy diets and physical inactivity (WHO, 2015b). The significant prevalence of NCDs demonstrates that targeting them should be a priority over the next two decades,

Among the many fights against poverty, improving children’s’ health is one of the major responsibilities. A healthy child becomes a healthy adult, a person who has the ability to create a better life for them, the people around them, their community, and their countries. One of the core UNICEF objectives is to improve the health of the children of the world.
