Storytelling as a teaching tool.
This article discusses the revival of the ancient use of storytelling as a teaching tool and how it can be used in teaching values and in promoting learning for nurse practitioner students and for clients of all ages. Stories are better able to illustrate values and may therefore have a greater impact on learning. Differences between stories and case studies are examined. Examples of stories the reader can use with students and clients are given.
