This practice column focuses on the insights and power of storytelling. Storytelling reflects a unique narrative that uncovers meaning in such a manner that new insights arise for the both the storyteller and beholder of a story. The importance of storytelling is illustrated with the light stories shine on meanings, value priorities, and choices. Accordingly, the honoring of storytelling within nursing’s theoretical frameworks and practices transforms the individual nurse, informs the discipline, and provides service to persons, families, and communities.
