This article illustrates the unique role of narrative medicine in the education of nursing students. Thirty-two students attending the university course for nursing were asked to describe in writing their clinical experience when prompted with the statement “from that event, in relation to treatment ethics, I learnt that …”. Thanks to narrative, the themes have gained a personal meaning as they emerged from a situation which involved the students emotionally. The students became endowed with the ability to face ethical dilemmas in different context and to deliver personalized care with empathy and compassion.
