Some techniques that may help to facilitate communication among multicultural workers include: 1) avoiding the use of slang terms, 2) recognizing that each of your coworkers probably has an educational background in nursing that is different from yours, and 3) providing your coworkers with resources, such as written protocols and procedures to reinforce verbal communication. When providing constructive criticism, it is important to use "I" statements instead of "you" statements, remembering to praise your coworker's competency in technical skills, and inspiring self-confidence.
