What do Holistic Clinical Nurse Specialists do?
Holistic Clinical Nurse Specialists (HCNs) treat the whole person, integrating mind, body, emotions, spirit, and environment to promote wellness, rather than just addressing symptoms.
They use conventional treatments in combination with complementary therapies, offer personalized care plans that focus on lifestyle, and empower patients to be active participants in their healing process.
To become a certified HCN, nurses typically require an advanced nursing degree and specialized certification, such as those offered by the American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation (AHNCC).
What they do
Comprehensive Care: HCNs look beyond immediate symptoms to understand how lifestyle, stress, diet, and spiritual well-being contribute to a patient’s health.
Integrative Approach: This approach combines traditional medical practices with complementary or alternative therapies, such as herbal remedies, mindfulness, acupuncture, and nutritional guidance.
Patient Empowerment: A primary goal is to educate and empower patients, fostering self-care and promoting their own healing potential.
Personalized Care Plans: HCNs develop individualized plans that may include lifestyle changes, stress management techniques, and other interventions tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
Environment
- HCNs work in diverse settings, from hospitals and clinics to wellness centers, birthing centers, private practices, and even patients’ homes.
- They often work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals, contributing their expertise in various healthcare settings.
