Great resource for all nurses

The Holistic Nursing Handbook has been a classic resource for holistic nurses for years. This newer addition is a great update and a valuable resource for all nurses.

Great handbook for practice of holistic nursing

This indeed is the perfect handbook for holistic nurse practice. It includes the standards of Holistic Nurse Practice and gives practical ideas for assessment, nursing diagnosis, outcomes and interventions.

Holistic Caring

This tome is definitely for the in-depth holistic care giver. Every aspect of care is covered in a complete and organized manner. This includes the very over looked self-care subject.If you are seeking the 'Bible' in holistic work, search no further. I can not imagine another source as complete as this one. A big thumbs up.

Every Nurse Should Have This Book

I bought this book because I admire the author's wonderful biography of Florence Nightingale. This is an essential reference for all nurses who want to be compassionate and effective care givers and who would like to be conversant with holistic medicine. We have so many patients who ask about that now that we owe it to them to be properly informed.
