NURSING NARRATIVES is a new regular feature for UVA nursing students that provides them with space to express

their thoughts, ideas, and opinions. Virginia Nursing Legacy (VNL) thanks the Jefferson Trust, which has funded this enterprise in both the VNL's print and digital editions through May 2025.

This edition of NARRATIVES explores the intersection of nursing and the creative arts. Entries were submitted by DNP students from associate professor Beth Epstein's (BSN ’94, PhD ’07) graduate Nurse Ethics course.

NARRATIVES is edited by DNP student and Jefferson Trust Grant recipient Sherrie Page Guyer, MSN, RN. Faculty members who would like to coordinate student assignments and students with article ideas that should be considered for this space may email Sherrie: duf7as@virginia.edu.
