My Nursing Communication

Improved Essays
I am a experience nursing professional for the past 17 years , who has been involved with medical writing for the past four years. My medical writing includes health care blogs, short medical content for a local paper, and academic writing (proofreading and editing) for nursing students pursuing their Master's, Doctorate, or PhD.

As an emergency room nurse, I understand the importance of writing to specific client or readers, keeping the material short and interesting, and the accuracy of words written.

I am looking forward to further positive communication with you and your staff!

Respectfully,

Ang

While she was typing I made an effort to decipher what she meant by terms like I&D by recalling all the medical terms and abbreviations…

    I totally agree with your point, that a nurse case manager must communicate with the IDT members both orally and written form using “clear, concise, and effective written, electronic, and verbal communication” (Chamberlain College of Nursing, 2015, p. 27.) It is crucial that the information that is discussed in a care plan meeting, pertinent to patient care, must be transcribed to a written form, so it can be easily accessible for other health care members. Written communication can be done through written care plans which contain all the realistic goals of the patients and families. Also, “documents interventions and nursing outcomes according to professional standards and work unit policy” (Chamberlain College of Nursing, 2015, p.…
