AHNCC designed a School Endorsement Program in 2000 to facilitate the advancement of holistic nursing through nursingeducation, endorsing only academic programs with curricula grounded in holistic nursing philosophy, theory, and concepts consistent with the AHNA Scope and Standards of Holistic Nursing Practice. AHNCC supports curriculum development that advances holistic, integrative nursing practices consistent with both current and future healthcare trends.

The Growing Importance of Holistic Nursing in Healthcare
Dr. Sandra Maldonado, EdD, CNN, director of the nursing program at PCOM, commented that “I am excited about bringing this program to Pacific College, providing an avenue to increase holistic nursing, and extending the value to patients seeking well-rounded healthcare”. Nurses trained in holistic practices and principles are ready to meet the growing demand for health care as they integrate healing principles of both Eastern and Western practices. Holistic nurses today are emerging as leaders in integrative healthcare roles within the areas of primary care, geriatrics, pediatrics, oncology, and palliative care. Holistic nursingprovides cost-effective care, and access to holistic nurses gives patients the ability to learn about and take advantage of complementary therapies that benefit overall health, limit disease, and reduce healthcare costs.
