In this episode, Monica shares her story about what brought her to conduct research on pediatric oncology nurses' caregiving narratives. Danica and Monica further discuss what it means to do narrative research from a critical perspective, the analysis process involved in narrative research, as well as the role of the narrative researcher in ‘bearing witness’ to the stories of their study participants while reflecting on two stories Monica shares from the nurses she interviewed.
