Abstract
BACKGROUND
A qualitative analysis of Legacy Letters written by oncology nurse residents to future nurse residents on what they wish they knew and what they learned at the end of their 1-year residency program showed four themes. This article presents a poetic inquiry of select themes/subthemes, providing a new perspective on the findings.
METHOD
Post hoc poetic inquiry of select subthemes/themes from a previously conducted qualitative nursing research study on nurse residents' Legacy Letters was conducted using a collective participant voice approach.
RESULTS
Three poems were created. A sample quote by an oncology nurse resident and an explanation of the relationship of the poem to the Legacy Letters are provided.
CONCLUSION
These poems represent a larger theme of resilience. Learning from mistakes, dealing with emotions, and providing self-care embody the experience and adaptation of the oncology nurse residents to this year of transition from graduation to professional practice.
