Abstract
This paper presents the findings from a study introducing nursing students to narrative production. The aim was to
use Story Theory to inspire students to intentionally collaborate with older people and produce a mini-biography of those
individuals. Narrative theory was utilised in four ways: designing an educational intervention; collecting and developing older
peoples’ life stories; framing an understanding of the meaning of the stories collected; analysing the significance of the
storytelling approach. The paper explains the study approach and findings and outlines the benefits as well as challenges that
occurred during the process. Most particularly, the anthology produced has become a tangible reminder about a clinical practice
that allowed students to meet frail aged residents and come to know them as vibrant human beings.
