Nursing’s roots embody holism. Holistic nursing honors the wholeness of body, mind, and spirit. This online course emphasizes holistic nursing as an art by highlighting self-care methods, complementary modality methodology, and the aesthetics and benefits of reflective practice. Students use critical thinking and creativity to study a range of complementary modalities that contribute to heightened awareness of client-focused care and life quality. Major concepts of health and wellness, body-mind healing, spirituality and health, holistic nursing theories, ethics, and evidenced based practice are highlighted. Students are requested to consider self care and personal health behaviors as well as those of clients. Participants engage in readings, experiential activities, and online dialogue to explore and analyze a range of practices that are applicable for providing holistic care in a variety of health care settings. Each student will focus on a particular complementary practice for more in depth holistic nursing study.
