The Art of Storytelling
A panel discussion moderated by
Carolyn Smeltzer, RN, Ph.D.
With Doris Popovich, RN, MA and Joan
Cantwell, RN, MA (21 Peaceful Nurses, Essays on a Spiritually Guided
Practice), Nancy Zimmerman Burke, APN, MSN, BC (Making Choices, Taking
Chances: Nurse Leaders Tell Their Stories) and Fran Vlasses, RN, Ph.D.
(Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives: The Stories of Nurses)
The telling of stories is an ancient
art form. Story tellers give us our family history, our spiritual
foundation, our value system, and often the satisfaction of knowing who
we are and where we come from. Nurses stories, told in their own words,
allow us to hear and see and even feel those experiences that have
created the cultural conserve that fashions our profession. They
inspire us to tell our own stories so that we can enrich that heritage.
