Art in nursing: A quilt journey

Abstract

The “art of nursing” was the culminating assignment for student group reflection and gained insight about their assigned vulnerable population as represented in a quilt block created. To learn about their assigned vulnerable population, the students begin with a windshield survey. The windshield survey results were recorded in a blog where the similarities and differences are discussed. The blog provides the basis for a group Wiki paper describing the challenges and opportunities of each of the vulnerable populations. Art can play a significant role in the modern caring sciences. It can touch thousands of people.
