"Yes, I believe I am an excellent communicator and have outstanding verbal and written communication skills. For example, I was in charge of transferring patient files into electronic files at my last job. The Nursing Manager asked me to train the staff to use the electronic medical records and write a quick guide showing the steps needed to complete the patient's electronic records. The staff quickly understood how to use the software and said my guide was helpful and concise."
