Mission Statement:
We are a network of holistic nurses committed to exploring and furthering the evolution of nursing practice. We do this by exploring the frontiers of spiritual environmentalism, community activism, personal relationships, as well as mental, physical, and spiritual health. Through this on-line forum we share ideas and information about personal, professional and social change. Our journal includes articles, interviews, book reviews, and international news.
Nursing Perspectives: A forum for scholars and practitioners dedicated to exploring new avenues of nursing care in a way that encourages harmonious dialogue with traditional nursing practice.
Holistic Practitioners: Listings of individuals who work according to values that respect human dignity and offer services that promote individual and collective growth.
Ideas and Opinions: Other professions who are open to an evolving philosophical worldview of holism and see themselves as a healing presence are invited to join us.
Calendar of Events: encourages member communication of meetings, lectures, workshops, conferences and community-based projects.
Sponsor’s Products and Services: advertising space that offers environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
