First Full Week of Class

The first full week of class in Business Writing has already been an interesting learning experience. I have expanded my knowledge about what businesses will expect from me as a communicator and employee. As a future nurse, I will need to know how to communicate with others in precise, efficient, culturally aware, and ethically based manners. Being able to get a message across in these ways will benefit the workplace with higher productivity, faster problem solving, and stronger relationships. One of the most important characteristics of a health care worker is possessing the ability to communicate strongly cross culturally. Body language, sensitivity, respect, and utilization of direct, unambiguous language will make interacting with patients easier. Practicing ethically within a hospital is also a tremendous part of nursing, and this chapter has emphasized the importance of making wise choices. Overall, the first full week of class has provided a solid ground and basis for communication that will be built upon throughout the semester.
