Communication Reflection

I have seen the nursing process being used within my practice. The society that I go to for my clinical evaluations and regular charting for every resident in the house. They identity daily, short-term, and long-term goals. Every resident has a chart that the need to fill out, by doing this it allows the residents have some accountability on their part of the goals. In addition, the nurses also observe that the residents progress, these observations are done throughout the day and charted daily. Being in the practice setting for a few weeks now, I’ve had the opportunity to use nursing processes with a few residents. I worked with a resident to help them understand and communicate with the staff members about how this resident was feeling. I worked with this resident to prepare and brainstorm ways that they could approach and deal with the issue. Helping them understand that feeling

Nonverbal communication or body language makes up 55% of effective communication. This plays the biggest part in communication, and it shows the client or colleague more information than words alone ever could. Nonverbal communication includes facial expressions, body movement and gestures, head movements, eye contact, posture, and the use of distances and space. Understanding and using nonverbal communication can enhance the connection between you and others, navigate challenging situations and well as expressing interest in the conversation. this can also established effective rapport between you and the client or colleague.

When using non-verbal communication, it is essential to show the correct body language to whoever you are speaking with. For example, as a professional you must retain a good posture when interacting with others to show them you are taking account of what the are saying and paying

It is well-known that body language refers to nonverbal mode of communication. On scientific analysis, it has been found that the different aspects of communication comprise 55% bodily movements and gestures, 38% vocal tone and only 7% words or verbal communication. It is thus clear that about 93% of communication is nonverbal, as many times, words are inadequate. This shows that correct use of body language serves as an effective nonverbal communication tool to convince fellow-workers at workplace, as well as family and friends, eventually leading to overall organizational success through self-development. It further leads to personal and professional growth of an

Intro. Something as simple as communicating can be both a positive and negative thing. Understanding the impact of individual differences across various situations such as explaining the extent of others when they use humor to interact with other people, or how our emotions come into play with other people and Communication traits enable us to be more accurate in out predictions on how others will send and receive messages. With the communication trait questionnaire it helped me learn more about communication behaviors and understand the impact of individual differences across various contexts such as the humor orientation, affective orientation, and argumentative orientation and how I ranked.

The first morning of nursing care I felt nervous, as well as extremely excited. This was my first true interaction working in the health care system, specifically with a resident and I wasn’t sure what to expect. The first aspect I noticed when I began my day with my staff buddy was how fast paced we moved and how time flew, which is something I expected but was still surprized by.

On Monday 23 May 2016, at approximately 1339hrs, I 6246 Leading Rate Joseph S was in my office at the Welfare/Housing department located at #31 St. Vincent Street Port of Spain. Present in the office at the time was Sgt Cassie R and L/Cpl Neptune. Whilst performing my daily duties in the office, I was about to use the telefax machine to make a copy of a document which is not an unusual function carried out by the members of the office. As I was about to do so, I was stopped by Sgt Cassie who said “yuh can’t copy nuttin they.” Being a bit confused about his uttered word I asked the question “why Sgt Cassie.” He then replied in a loud tone “don’t make no fucking copy LR.” I responded to the Sgt by saying “I am a grown woman bordering Petty

Today was the first day of class and it worked fairly well overall. I was primarily concerned with just getting my bearing and understanding how the class would operate, I learned how most of the classes would involve a mix of physical activity, acting practice and a little bit of lecture time. The only actual acting that took place was the reading of the academic honesty pledge. Even so, I still think that I got some good practice and feedback out of it, my pacing is very good and I’m definitely much more confident than I ever was back in high school. I do still need to learn to better prepare myself immediately before I begin my piece. I anticipate I will have a lot more to write about in my next entry when class starts in earnest.

Since the start of this class, I have been reminded again and again that the concepts we are learning can be applied to everyday life. For instance, when we talked about non-verbal communication, I realized that it is impossible to not communicate. There are many activities, other than the use of language, that allow us to draw meaning from something we observe. When my mother widens her eyes at me without stating a word, I understand she is telling me to think twice about the action I’m about to take. It has been great to be able to assign concepts and vocabulary to interpersonal relationships and communication activity that I have been experiencing. Now let me introduce you to my friend Izzy and her boyfriend Ken as I analyze the

that we explore why she’s been feeling down lately together. Mary then said, “Talk about what?” I then stated, “Why have you been feeling down lately?” Mary then stated, “No I don’t want to talk about that?” Using mirroring I then stated, “You don’t want to talk about why you feel down?” Mary then stated “No I don’t”. What occurred here can be described as a disconnection. Whether it be my working or something that happened with Mary prior to me coming in or Mary was just not having a good day, I was not able to connect her in conversation and she disengaged. Again in a non- judgmental tone I repeated what Mary stated so that she knew I had heard her, I was not dismissing her feelings. Mary from the beginning was very agitated so I knew that I probably would get much dialogue from her, maybe it was the nature of our discussion because I was asking her

There I was sitting in my communications class, more tired than ever before, until Leila Schmidt announced to the class to wake up. At that point, I knew she was talking about me, ever since then I started participating more and been more awake in class. This class helped me improve my public speaking apprehension, participation in class and my nonverbal deliveries. These improvements are very similar to my CIP because I mainly stated how I want to improve on my presenting skills and how I present it. I also wanted to improve on my participation in class. As the semester went on I noticed improvements in all these categories by the way I presented and my grade got better.

Over this summer course I have learned a lot about communication. I learned how significant nonverbal and verbal communication is, along with listening. I never fully understood how big communication is in our daily lives. I now realize that it is a huge aspect of how we continue in our lives. This course has showed me different levels of communication.

Upon receiving my special project, I took the opportunity to approach it as a new challenging task but with the commitment to make it a learning and teaching opportunity for myself. The main objective for this project was to enhance my knowledge and to adhere to what is one of my weaknesses, group presentations. I was provided with the assignment of three post conferences to be completed by the end of the semester. When delegating topics to present, I focused on the tentative schedule and selected one disease to present in each post conference. My selection was based on utilizing the time I had, as a benefit for both students and I to learn something that was involved in our curriculum. The topics I choose to discuss in my post conferences
