Careers in holistic nursing are specialized occupational fields where registered and licensed nurses practice both conventional and holistic medical wisdom. By addressing the "whole person," holistic nurses draw upon scientific knowledge combined with self-healing and natural-healing principles to achieve and maintain whole health and wellness.

Developing professional, but compassionate relationships with patients, holistic nurses are quickly becoming assets to the healthcare industry. Careers in holistic nursing are unique because these specially-trained nurses practice in accordance to the philosophies and practices of conventional medicine, but employ mind-body-spirit medicine to help in healing all components of the patient.

How do candidates achieve careers in holistic nursing? Qualified nurses, who would like to become certified in holism, must take a board-certified course in holistic nursing to practice in this field. Common curricula involves holistic practice and natural healing, integrative modalities (aromatherapy, energy medicine, guided imagery, Reiki, therapeutic touch, massage therapy), spiritual healing, nutrition, holistic communication skills, and more.

Though some programs geared for careers in holistic nursing can be completed over several months' time, a number of academic courses can be taken through holistic workshops, seminars, and even online.

Upon completion of the recommended course of study, careers in holistic nursing are supplemented with continuing education in both conventional medicine and holistic health.

If you (or someone you know) are interested in learning more about these or other healing arts occupations, let professional training within fast-growing industries like massage therapy, naturopathy, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, Reiki, and others get you started! Explore careers in holistic nursing near you.
