COMM-1206Professional Communication in Nursing
This course builds on the previous registered nurses' knowledge and experience about the essential elements of professional communication from a socio-cultural nursing perspective. Strategies and techniques, considering socio-cultural context and unique communication needs across the lifespan, are applied. The course also includes an overview of Canadian Indigenous people's history and culture and the residual effects of colonialism on Indigenous people. This history provides an understanding of building nurse/client communication, therapeutic relationships, and culturally sensitive care.
