| Summary: | This descriptive study explores creativity among three
groups of subjects: nursing students, medical—surgical
nurses, and home care nurses. The Verbal Torrance Test
of Creativity was used to measure overall creativity,
fluency flexibility and originality between three
groups of 30 subjects.
The research questions were: What is the level of
creativity in three groups of nurses: second year
diploma nursing students, medical-surgical nurses and
home care nurses?, Do medical—surgical nurses and home
care nurses differ in measures of creativity?, and Do
registered nurses and nursing students differ in
measures of creativity? The results indicate no
significant differences at r=0.05 significance level
when the t—test was performed.
All subjects were however, above the standardized mean
of 100 when compared to a large normative sample of
children and adults. When compared to a normative sample
of adults the subjects were above median for overall
creativity. === Applied Science, Faculty of === Nursing, School of === Graduate
