Critical Thinking, Coping, and Communication in Nursing (Video)

It’s not the jungle—it’s your hospital.

But that doesn’t mean your nurses don’t need survival skills.

Nurses have more on their minds than just helping patients. Every day, they are confronted with challenges such as communication issues, horizontal hostility, and high stress levels. At a time when retention is so critical, it’s important that nurses are given the tools they need to remain—and flourish—in the work environment.

Teach your nurses to manage stress in a hectic clinical environment with HCPro’s new video, Critical Thinking, Coping, and Communication in Nursing: A Video Orientation for Survival in the Workplace. In less than 20 minutes, your nurses will master stress management, critical thinking, and communication skills. This video also has a special section devoted to the unique training needs of new graduates.

With this video, nurses will be able to:

• Become a critical thinker who views thinking as a process
• Discuss strategies for successful communication with patients, managers, physicians, and peers
• Define and recognize horizontal hostility among nurses and identify techniques to combat it
• Identify signs of stress and implement methods for stress management

The accompanying CD-ROM provides educators with tools to distribute to staff members to support their growth and development, including:

• Nurse-to-nurse hostility fact sheet
• Life events stress test
• Pulse-taking exercise for nurse/physician communication
