Thanks for the replies everyone. I did make a learning plan including body language, active listening, and feedback mechanisms. My manager was very pleased. I really appreciate the detail everyone went into with their replies and I'm sorry if my initialesaage was vague.

Hey folks. I'm 21 yo guy and I started a new job on a surgical ward in a larger community hospital. I've previously worked for a year in surgery in a large, teaching hospital. Some of the feed back I've recieved from my new job is related to communication. My manager has stated that my "hard skills" like dressing changes or assessments are solid, but my "soft skills" like communication need some improvement. They have scheduled my two more orientation shifts to help facilitate my development of my soft skills. They also want me to form a learning plan on how to better my communication skills, but i'm at a loss for what I should include. Their concerns aren't my bedside manner but rather my inter-professional communications. I was wondering if anyone could provide some input to help me out. Thanks everyone. Sam
