Example (Author, year) at the end of the information. ” One of the concepts I would explain to a group of new grad nurses is, stress reduction skills; guided breathing and positive visualization. Holistic nursing includes self care as well as for the patient. This works well when being overstimulated due to anxiety, difficult work assignments, and toxic work environments. Work and life balance is not much of an option for newer nurses. They are usually given the less sought after shifts and difficult patients. Being novice nurses and not feeling capable of speaking out against unfair treatments due to no experience. Holistic care can support them between difficult shifts, poor staff ratios and unfortunate patient outcomes. ” Additional Resources: American Holistic Nursing Association Guide to creating a teaching plan SMART Goals
