NU 507 - Holistic Nursing
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 evidence-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.
