Digital Storytelling in Nursing Education Webinar

Honest and emotionally compelling personal stories can enhance nursing education and practice and address compassion fatigue. In this free webinar, we'll share the history of our collaborative Nurstory project and examples of how the Nurstory process and products can be used in teaching and learning. The webinar will also focus on:

1)  Professionalism and the attendant values of altruism, autonomy, integrity, and social justice, as fundamental to the discipline of nursing.

2) Synthesizing concepts, including the psycho-social dimensions of nursing and the importance of cultural diversity in the field.

3) Health care advocacy (which must begin by understanding perspectives other than your own).

Nurstory is supporting:

  • Reflective Practice: Students reflect on a personal story, promoting dialogue, the expression of counter narratives, and exchange and inquiry.

  • Student Centered Teaching and Learning: Student visibility and voice are increased through reflective practice and sensitivity to diverse perspectives. 

  • Inter-professional Collaboration: Student digital stories are shared across educational disciplines and with other health profession students.

  • Ethics: The digital storytelling process supports an examination of  nursing ethics and professional practice.

  • Teach and Learn Dialogue versus Discussion: Students practice listening, presence, the synthesis of perspectives, and the telling of more stories.

  • Influence Policy/Nurse Activism: Participants can develop stories that may be used to influence policymakers. 

  • Research: We undertake thematic analysis across stories, to better understand the phenomenon of interest.

  • Self-Care: Students learn to express themselves, for better understanding and contributing to shared perspectives.

Please join us for an introduction to current thinking about strategies and platforms for creating and utilizing first-person stories of nursing experience.
