In the Image of a Creative God: Cultivating Creativity in Nursing
1Beth Nease, PhD, DNP, RN, NE-BC, is an associate clinical professor in the College of Nursing at the University of South Carolina.
Abstract:
Creativity in nursing strengthens professional identity and resilience and is a critical skill enabling innovation, effective problem-solving, and patient-centered care. Creativity reflects the nature of God, and biblical examples of creativity abound. Creativity is inhibited by fears and myths. The creative process is similar to the nursing process. Creativity can be strengthened with intentional practice, including freewriting. Creativity in nursing is both a calling and an act of faith, reflecting God's nature and empowering compassionate, effective care.
