Distinguishing Nursing Art: Patient, Researcher, and Student Views: Nurse: Technician and Artist

"Frances's Story": Student Response

Nancy Tavares Marques

University of Massachusetts Dartmouth,

In this response to research reported by Dr. Gramling, the author of this response likens the art of nursing to a masterpiece drawn with the inner talents and gifts of nurses. Frances, a patient interviewed by Dr. Gramling, explains her experience of being carefully watched and feeling safe when a nurse pays close attention to her. The author has learned to define the art of nursing through the abstract concepts of the fine arts and asserts that the line between technician and artist is blurred. The poem written by Dr. Gramling in response to Frances reinforces the author's reading of how nursing becomes art.
