Based
on the experience of using the poem ‘The Nurse's Pockets’ by Cortney
Davis in reflective practice teaching sessions this paper considers the
centrality of language as conveyed in poetry as a way of communicating
nursing knowledge and experience. Using this poem facilitated a mutual
position between the educator and the students that enhanced the
reflective practice environment. An argument for using creative arts
based approaches in nurse education is presented as a means of
overcoming the threats to the unique nature of nursing knowledge
evidenced in healthcare and higher education reform.
