Abstract
Metaphors are a personal expression and form of self‐awareness, providing a way of describing an experience with dissimilar concepts to convey meaning. Metaphors create new meaning and provide a deeper insight into the human spirit. They are grounded in reality and day‐to‐day life experiences. Reflective practitioners incorporate and integrate their vast knowledge base of experience, skills, and attitudes to assist in formulating their practice as a metaphor. It is through this experience and reflection that nurses can creatively express their images of self and nursing.
