WellNurse Master Chef: Nursing Edition video – transcript

Kayla Parsons: This is the Master Chef: Nursing Edition Curriculum and it’s really an aim to improve health behaviors in nursing students, staff and faculty through mindful eating and some gamified learning where students get to create their own recipe and have a cooking competition so really aiming to improving self-efficacy around healthful choices, diet, quality, as well as building kind of a sense of community around participants.

Parsons: It’s exciting to see students and faculty really excited about food and having a positive activity surrounding cooking and things like that and really coming together with a sense of community during activities of cooking and mindful eating.

Student: Especially like in the winter, I tend to buy like a lot of frozen blueberries, strawberries.

Parsons: I think it’s really important because there’s a lot of different aspects it touches on so it gives people the opportunity to set intention for healthy behaviors resulting in positive diet, quality and those are all really important tools as they’re moving into professional nursing because they serve as role models for not only their patients but younger nurses.
