Abstract

The Registered Nurse student returning to school brings both a knowledge base and experiences that lend themselves to enriching the learning environment. These experiences have helped to develop the practical knowledge and expertise that is evident in their practice. When these experiences are shared in the form of stories, they provide a mechanism for transformation within the learner. This study focused on the use of storytelling in teaching and empowering RN students to become involved in their own learning and fostering critical reflection. The RN students in this study represented a diverse ethnic/racial group. As a result, students were challenged to understand and manage cultural diversity and value cultural differences. The use of storytelling engaged students in reflective thinking, writing, and learning activities that identified assumptions, alternative ways of thinking, teaching, and practicing nursing.
