Abstract:
Nursing students struggle to learn medications that their patients have been prescribed, often regurgitating information found in a drug book or on a drug card. Watching students do this led to the development of the Critical Thinking Medication Storytelling assignment. The assignment was designed to bring information to life in a creative and meaningful way, enabling students to see how specific medications interrelate with the patient's condition. Qualitative results from students revealed that students embraced this teaching strategy; the strategy was effective for acquiring drug knowledge.
