Focus on describing your written and verbal communication skills. If you have a former supervisor who commented on your excellent communication skills in a letter of recommendation or performance review, use their description in your response. The interviewer wants to know that you can speak clearly with others while properly documenting reports and other forms of written communications.

"I would describe my communication skills as top-notch. I took a leadership class in college, which greatly improved my verbal communication skills. I also took a documentation course in nursing school, which taught me how to precisely document my patient findings and the treatments given. I pride myself on my communication skills and look forward to bringing these skills to your organization."
