Abstract
This session examines the significant role storytelling plays in the nursing profession and how it can be leveraged to enhance nursing practice. Nurses, as both caregivers and custodians of patient experiences, use storytelling to strengthen therapeutic relationships, support healing, and build resilience in themselves and others. In this session, we'll examine key applications of storytelling across clinical practice, nursing education, leadership, and advocacy. Through engaging with narrative techniques, participants will gain insight into how storytelling can deepen empathy, enhance patient-centered care, and serve as a reflective tool for personal and professional growth.
