CNE Evaluations and Certificates

Target Audience

The continuing nursing education (CNE) activities for this conference have been designed to meet the educational needs of nurses and other health care providers involved in the holistic practice of health care and daily living who are interested in enhancing their practice through the process of reflection.

Overview

The American public is demanding healthcare that provides accessible options, is wellness oriented, economically feasible, compassionate, respectful, and grounded in holistic ideals.
Educational and healthcare institutions must provide practitioners able to address the needs of the whole person within a socio-cultural perspective that honors individuality and interconnectedness.
Research demands a more holistically oriented perspective that both incorporates and transcends current paradigms.
The role of nurse advocate is essential in the provision of safe, quality, person-centered healthcare.
Holistic nurses have knowledge and skills that are foundational in the creation of caring/healing environments and envisioning possibilities for healing.
Holistic nursing practice is grounded in the Scope and Standards of Holistic Nursing 2nd Edition.
