The author's appreciation for holistic nursing has stemmed from working as a nurse for several years and coming to the realization that although patients may have the same illness or symptoms, their plan of care must be as unique as the individual. During the process of obtaining her Holistic Nursing Certification, she learned the importance of assessing the integrated dimensions of a person. She is discovering there are many ways to care for and nurture an individual. And what works well for one person may not work for the next. Nurses who incorporate the holistic philosophy into their practice will most definitely improve the outcome of the patient's care as well as the care of themselves.
作者对整体护理的认识源于她多年的护士工作经历，并且逐渐意识到，尽管患者可能患有相同的疾病或症状，但他们的护理计划必须像个体本身一样独特。在获得整体护理认证的过程中，她了解到评估一个人的综合维度的重要性。她发现有许多照顾和滋养个体的方法。对一个人有效的方法对另一个人可能并不适用。将整体护理理念融入实践的护士肯定会改善患者护理的结果以及自身的护理。
