Abstract:
A Subcommittee on Integrative Practices was created in response to a request from the New Mexico Board of Nursing for assistance in addressing the public's questions about the use of complementary and alternative modalities (CAM) therapies. The Subcommittee reviewed key holistic nursing documents including the American Holistic Nurses Association Standards of Practice, AHNA Core Curriculum, and Holistic Nursing: A Handbook for Practice as well as information from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. A World Café process was utilized to explore the purpose and goals of the Subcommittee and to derive a language that would unify and promote understanding of integrative nursing practice. Accomplishments, including the presentation of A Hundred Medicines: Honoring Many Paths professional conference, are described.
