“This is a story of how it feels to be me. — Milmon Harrison
This story was created through a StoryCenter digital storytelling workshop in partnership with the Oregon Infant Child Care Project.
The founders of the digital storytelling movement, StoryCenter, conducts workshops that creates spaces for listening to and sharing stories, to help build a just and healthy world.
Nurstory is a collaboration between nursing faculty, researcher, and documentary filmmaker with Seedworks Films, Sue Hagedorn, and the founders of the digital storytelling movement, StoryCenter, conducting storytelling workshops to examine how personal stories of nurses and other providers can contribute to nursing education.
Nurse participants share stories about challenges and formative decisions they make, in nursing. The resulting stories are being used to engage nursing faculty, nursing doctoral candidates, and practicing providers in dialogue about health care ethics, the value of reflective practices, the need to address secondary trauma among nurses, and the true meaning of compassionate care.
THAT KID by Bobbi Jo O’Neil
Perhaps we are made from the stories we carry. For forensic nurses, then, this is at times a harrowing place in which to live. This Nurstory digital storytelling workshop helped participants process vicarious/secondary trauma and then externalize those narratives into digital stories.
I love the multiple layering aspect of stories and how the digital layering of words, imagery, and sounds can add to the depth of storytelling . Today’s story spotlight is “I Can”, a video I made through poetic inspiration pondering resilience.
Isn’t life ironic? I don’t know about you, but I witness this time and time again! Today’s STORY SPOTLIGHT is titled “The Bet“. It touched my heart (and funny bone) about how an adversary can also be an ally.
