Immerse your nursing students in the ideas, theories, and techniques of effective communication in the workplace! Communication in Nursing, 10th Edition adopts a uniquely practical and personal approach to the demands of today’s nursing practice, providing extensive examples, exercises, and techniques that help students apply communication skills in a variety of clinical settings. Using a conversational tone, this relatable text takes your students beyond theory to show them how to understand important concepts and use communication as a tool to limit stress in their nursing practice. The 10th edition includes an emphasis on holistic self-care of the nurse, a new Confronting Bullying and Incivility with Honesty and Respect chapter, a new appendix mapping the AACN® Essentials domains to the text objectives, and case studies for the Next-Generation NCLEX® (NGN). In addition, the latest information on the topics of mindfulness, resilience, and interprofessional communication highlight the importance of implementing these tools in practice.
