Another Student Reflects

Sarah’s Story of Nursing Artistry

Laura Ashley McNeill

University of Massachusetts Dartmouth

This short response to research performed on the art of nursing was written by an undergraduate nursing student at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth. In it, the author uses personal experience, an original research article, "Sarah’s Story," and an accompanying poem, "Sarah’s Insight," to explore her own interpretation of the art of nursing. The art of nursing was learned firsthand by the author following surgery, and it encompasses "the enthusiasm of a nurse to care for patients." Similarly, the interviewee, Sarah, learned that nursing is not merely a paycheck. The poem includes words like "surprised," "amazed," and "grateful" to explain Sarah’s response. The author concludes that one nurse can inspire others to practice the art of nursing and become successful nurses.

Key Words: nursing • nursing as art • caregiving • helping others • compassion
