The December issue of Beginnings Magazine, published by the American Holistic Nurses Association, includes stories from ten holistic nurses answering the editor’s assignment, “Describe a day in your life as a holistic nurse.” Perhaps the articles here will help you to answer, “Am I holistic?” Or perhaps these nurse writers will inspire you to be more holistic. As Marie Shanahan, MA, BSN, RN, HNB-BC and Veda Andrus, EdD, MSN, RN, HN-BC  of BirchTree Center taught me years ago, holistic is about your way of being, not what you are doing.

Spoiler alert: At the editor’s invitation, I wrote one of these articles.
