    Patience, tolerance and listening.

    Hand-off/end-of-shift reports are always tricky. Hospitals I have seen have made attempts to standardize the process (ex. SBAR forms) but there will always be an issue with some nurses giving too little details, missing critical information or giving inaccurate information.

    My major annoyance is pharmacy calling the RN to ask us to call the MD to clarify an order. It brings one more person into the mix. A pharmacist is legally able to take a phone order. They are just trying to pass the buck and make things easier for themselves with no regard for the safety of the patient.

    Our search engine is opposite the allurses name at top of forum.

    Search here and on the internet "Communicaiton issues + nursing".

    Accepting verbal orders is another hot button topic.

    What type of class is requiring a "business plan" to resolve nursing communication issue?
