| Sumario: | Poetry (re)translation can be used as a medium of instruction to enhance nursing students' creative capability and increase their penchant for English language learning. This exploratory paper – inscribed within the evolving scholarship of narrative-based medicine [Charon et al. 2017. The Principles and Practice of Narrative Medicine. New York (NY): Oxford U Press], unveils nursing students' reflections about nurses' diverse responsibilities and their apprehensions of the nursing practice. Initially, I have, closely and thoroughly, examined their outputs. Then, before translating the creative pieces into Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and retranslating them into English, I had in mind these four criteria: (a) Theme and Content; (b) Metaphors and Vivid Imagery; (c) Emotional Resonance; (d) Readability.
