Hello! My name is Esli Ortiz I'm a nursing student on my fourth year undergrad on a Nursing program, and my professor gave me an assignment about creating a discussion subkect, and I will like to know if I can have the help of the members of this page, will take less than a few minutes you just have to give me your opinion on the subject. Do todays nurses understand the efficacy of the use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine ( acupuncture, aromatherapy etc. on combination with the traditional medicine?
Yes I do, Esli! We had a course like that in school, also.
Not sure if you perused the Forums, but under the Specialty Nursing Forums heading, there is a Holistic Nursing Forum. There are quite a few schools that treat the 'whole' patient, and many 'alternative' practices have been useful.
