As holism is foundational in nursing theory and practice, students will explore self-care and the interrelatedness of caring, therapeutic presence, and holistic nursing practice. Students are encouraged to examine characteristics of self-care to facilitate personal knowing. Centering approaches, meditation and progressive relaxation techniques will be explored in guided group experiences. Self-care as a reflection of family, social, and cultural, and professional norms will be explored. Holistic, caring-healing interventions will be introduced to facilitate personal and professional development.
