The Penn School of Nursing organized a story slam event, in collaboration with Penn Medicine and First Person Arts, to create an innovative forum for nurses to share their experiences and to generate greater understanding of the nursing profession. The Nursing StorySlam brought together ten nurses from Penn Nursing and Penn Medicine to share their true, personal stories that explored the breadth, depth, and diversity of nursing in front of a packed house at West Philly’s community arts space, the Rotunda. As Penn Nursing’s Dean Antonia M. Villarruel perfectly summarized, “What an event! This was truly a celebration of nurses and nursing. I was touched by stories of compassion and ingenuity in the face of human and personal tragedy. Thanks to our storytellers for sharing your stories with such vulnerability and humor!”
