How Advanced Practice Holistic Nurses Meet International Criteria for Advanced Practice
1Integrative Health Consulting & Coaching, LLC, Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Abstract:
Much has been written about the inclusion of holistic nursing philosophy and practices in undergraduate nursing education, but their inclusion and influence in advanced practice nursing education have not been fully explored. Supporting a holistic paradigm and model of care founded on evidenced-based clinical theory allows for expanded nursing practice and health care options for patients. Holistic nursing aligns with culturally competent, patient-centered care and is consistent with how our current health care landscape has evolved in recent years. Health care reform highlights a new direction in practice toward self-transformation, accountability, natural treatment options, and a patient's active role in health care decisions. To demonstrate the role, this article will address how advanced practice holistic nurses meet the International Council of Nurses Criteria for Advanced Practice and is substantially equivalent and exceeds current APRN competencies.
