Appreciation of Holistic Nursing

Kelly L. Smith, RN, BSN, HNC

Northern Illinois University

The author’s appreciation for holistic nursing has stemmed from working as a nurse for several years and coming to the realization that although patients may have the same illness or symptoms, their plan of care must be as unique as the individual. During the process of obtaining her Holistic Nursing Certification, she learned the importance of assessing the integrated dimensions of a person. She is discovering there are many ways to care for and nurture an individual. And what works well for one person may not work for the next. Nurses who incorporate the holistic philosophy into their practice will most definitely improve the outcome of the patient’s care as well as the care of themselves.

Key Words: lifestyle • holistic care • appreciation • student
