Abstract

The changing face of healthcare in the UK has blurred boundaries and necessitated shifts in working and learning practice. This reflexive account starts to examine what it might mean to learn as a nurse, from the perspective of being a nurse teacher drawing on two different groups of learners. What this might have to say about the profession of nursing as a whole is considered using reflective processes and a reflexive narrative collating various voices and reflective thoughts to illuminate what it means to be a nurse and becoming a nurse teacher. The work concludes that entering into a critical dialogue with the personal biography potentially supports more meaningful learning helping to develop agency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
