Abstract:
Despite the growing need for strong communication skills in the workplace, many nursing students complete their education and still have significant blind spots for their own interpersonal weaknesses. This article describes an innovative approach for promoting insight into communication styles through the use of small-group online discussions. An outline of the instructional strategy is provided along with examples of student work. Future directions for online assignments are discussed.
