Holistic Nursing

Thursday, December 3 , 2009
5 contact hours
9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Natural therapies, also known as complementary and alternative therapies, have long been a part of nursing practice. Florence Nightingale wrote in her most famous writing, Notes on Nursing,(1859) that nursing should touch patients and create healthy environments that facilitate healing. She wrote “nurses should be concerned with giving the patient proper food, air, light and rest.” As a part of this legacy nursing practice includes massage and holistic therapies, yet many of us know very little about natural therapies. 

How can meditation, massage, therapeutic touch and herbal therapies help ease physical conditions like pain and hypertension? How can one learn these treatment modalities and incorporate them into daily practice? Is it possible for nurses to have a private practice in natural therapies that truly benefits patients? If you have asked yourself any of those questions this course is for you!
