Review of 'Awakening the Nurse Healer Within'
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper discussing the article by Carol Wells-Federman. The author presents solid reasons that the mainstream nurse need not view the holistic approach as something totally foreign or irreconcilable to the training received in order to gain the privilege of practicing nursing. In fact, she maintains that the standard approach to nursing always has been that of encouraging patient responsibility and offering suggestions that incorporate mind and spirit. She shows nurses how, though terminology differs, the approach is the same. She also encourages them to care for themselves in the same way. Bibliography lists 1 source.
