DOUBLE HELIX Mapping the generic ethical codes of creative nonfiction writing and medical writing 'THIS WILL PROBABLY HURT' Stories from my student nurse training

摘要

This project is a practice-led inquiry into ethical questions that arise when medical writing and creative nonfiction writing – which have different generic and ethical conventions – are combined in a nursing memoir. The thesis presents personal stories from years as a student nurse, alongside an exegetical discussion of how creative goals are informed by the ethics of representation and identity. In so doing, it offers critical and creative insights into creative nonfiction ethics and their application in medical creative writing.
