Creative nursing
-
Nurses are affected on a personal and professional level by the stories they hear from patients throughout their careers. Nurse educators can help graduate-level nursing students understand how these stories impact their nursing lives by incorporating narrative medicine into graduate nursing curricula. ⋯ Methods to incorporate narrative medicine into graduate nursing curricula include in-depth text analysis and writing exercises, with opportunities for students to read their work aloud. Narrative medicine's role in nursing must be researched through qualitative and quantitative studies.
