Course Description: Holistic Nursing Care

This six-week, fully online course provides nurses with an in-depth understanding of holistic nursing principles, theories, and practices. Designed for those interested in integrating holistic approaches into their nursing practice or those preparing for certification, the course explores key topics such as therapeutic communication, complementary and alternative therapies, self-care strategies, and culturally competent care. The curriculum aligns with the American Holistic Nurses Association (AHNA) standards and serves as an excellent preparation for nurses seeking certification in holistic nursing. Through recorded lectures, expert interviews, national resources, and interactive discussion boards, participants will engage with evidence-based holistic care methods that promote healing, well-being, and patient-centered care.

Learners will examine holistic nursing models, and apply them to real-world patient scenarios. The course also emphasizes the importance of self-care for nurses, mindfulness techniques, and ethical considerations in holistic practice. Participants will gain practical knowledge on integrating holistic nursing principles into diverse healthcare settings while developing skills in leadership and advocacy for holistic health. With no required in-person meetings, this flexible and accessible course is ideal for busy professionals looking to expand their holistic nursing expertise and prepare for certification.
