Virtual poetry, nursing and Google Meet

ABSTRACT

Virtual Poetry and nursing have much to say about humanity during and after the global lockdown. Whereas nurses have worked on the front lines to treat infected patients both physically and mentally, poets have played a tremendous role in relieving students of negative energy, motivating them to pursue their dreams and hopes. Building on Thematic Analysis and the Reflective Learning Approach, this paper examines the relationship between virtual poetry and nursing education. One focus group from Agadir city had to study English at ISPITS institute for 14 h, using Google Meet and, at a later stage, they were entailed to evaluate their learning experiences with the Online English Class. The results unveiled that the Moroccan student nurses share a great concern for humanity and that virtual poetry could be used as an instructional medium in shaping their personality traits and reinvigorating their academic goals about the nursing practice.

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank wholeheartedly the nursing students at ISPITS institute of semester 1 in Agadir city because they did not hesitate to fully engage in the Online English Class either by writing poems on nursing or by completing the feedback sheet. Without their cooperation and active involvement, this study would not be feasible.
