Title: Nurses as Storytellers

Modalities: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Powerpoint, Canva

Development: 30 hours total

Challenges: With COVID and the demands of the medical field, healthcare workers are burnt out.

Solutions: Nurses as Storytellers give healthcare workers the tools to write stories, a proven cathartic strategy to reduce stress and burnout, and help process difficult emotions.

Results: These are selections from a 22-page Facilitator Guide, a 15-slide presentation, and a 15-page Learner’s Journal. I facilitated and created this course for Rowan University’s Medical School. It can be adapted to teach nurses, doctors, and other healthcare workers. A comprehensive student survey given to participants showed the course decreased feelings of anxiety, stress, and burnout. This course was then adapted for yearly facilitation.
