Abstract:
:This article responds to the call by Heinrich (1992) to harness the power of metaphor to reenergize nursing classrooms. An overview of the power of metaphor is provided, as well as a description of a learning activity that prompted students to think metaphorically about a nursing experience. Students reflected on the image of nurse as tour guide and discovered theory being lived out in practice, new ways of understanding the role of the nurse, appreciation for the individual approach in nursing, and a new confidence in sharing and creating.
