#Tone of #voice in communication. Today is the beginning of week three of #clinicalposting for student nurses from the College of Nursing, Gwagwalada, FCT, Abuja. Nigeria 🇳🇬 Sunday was for feedback and the lowest score on a scale of 1- 10 was 7/10 which shows that learning has taken place. This morning we had a discussion on the Tone of voice in communication. Your tone of voice matters in communication, especially in the hospital which may be patients' caregivers, colleagues and other professionals. Whether in written or verbal communication, the words you choose and the way you say them can make a world of difference. Your tone of voice expresses how you feel about what you are trying to say. How you feel and how you talk have a strong influence on how people perceive you. We listed the types of tones of voice which are: ●Confident tone ● Straightforward tone ●Authoritative tone ●Inspirational tone ●Friendly tone ●Formal tone ●Optimistic tone ●Humorous tone ●Informative tone ●Questioning tone ●Joyful tone A nurse may use more than one tone of voice depending on the message you want to pass across and your target audience. With the right words and use of tone, a #Nurse can develop an emotional connection and build trust. The tone of voice is important in all forms of communication. How can you apply this in your everyday relationship with your patients and colleagues? Join the conversation in the comment section. I am Masua Essien, a clinical instructor.
