What is holistic nursing?
holistic nurse with patient

Holistic nursing programs offer training in compassion, self-care, massage therapy, healing or therapeutic touch, intuition and spirituality. By combining these healing modalities, the body is able to heal as a whole, rather than in segmented parts. Holistic healing recognizes the totality of the human being, integrating natural healing with clinical practice to treat people's physiological, psychological and spiritual needs. This type of nursing helps to complement more traditional methods for a well-rounded, complementary approach.

How is holistic nursing practiced?
Nurses trained in this area may work as part of a larger integrated clinic or, with the proper license, have an independent practice. Many tend to work in the field of women's health care.

It is a good idea to become a member of the American Holistic Nurses Association (AHNA), a non-profit association for nurses and holistic health care professionals. This organization provides up-to-date holistic nursing information as well as promotes holistic nursing education for health care industry professionals and the public.
