      ab: Background: As educational programs compete with online and open courseware, TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design) Talks provide meaningful complementary content that can be easily integrated into curricula. Purpose: Evaluate an innovative approach to the standard lecture by combining media mixture with reflective writing. Methods: Undergraduate nursing students were asked to view a TED Talk and write a brief narrative reflection as part of their preparation for a communication class. Results: The video and reflective writing assignment were completed by 23/25 (92%) of students. Qualitative analysis of the reflective writing identified three primary themes: Communication as a Foundational Competency, Importance of Empathy, and Professional Role Development. Conclusion: This illustrative talk and narrative exercise provided an interactive learning experience for novice nurses that served as a compelling means to critically reflect on effective health-care communication skills, prior to entry into practice.
