The Holistic Worldview in Action: Evolution of Holistic Nurses Certification Programs

This article describes four major changes in the work of AHNCC since 2004: a detection of an evolution in the domain of holistic nursing through review of the literature; clarification and specification of levels of practice by educational level; development of the nurse coach role in nursing, designed within the precepts of holistic nursing; and AHNCC’s response to the social paradigm shift for health care, and nursing’s advanced practice registered nurse consensus model. Each of these is discussed in detail describing the circumstances that perpetuated AHNCC’s consideration and the actions taken by AHNCC.
