Nurses have a number of memorable situations in which their actions improved a patient or peer experience and in turn influenced their perception or transformed their nursing practice. Most nurses do not realize how much they go above and beyond for a patient because they simply do it every day. Nurses might even think their most challenging day was their worst day when in fact their worst day was actually their best exemplar. Many nurses are not accustomed to writing detailed accounts or stories of powerful experiences about themselves or how to apply Benner’s Stages of Skills Acquisition to measure personal and professional growth. This course will explain how to transform domains of expert practice into a well written exemplar.
