Ms Sheila Kerpelman, a Masters Prepared Family Nurse Practitioner, discusses how she uses holistic alternative health principles in her nursing practice and how nursing schools integrate it into their curriculum. Should it be a specialty or offered to all students? How are the principles integrated into daily health care? Do nursing journals support holistic alternative health care? Is there room in health care for a diversity of players–some prepared and some unprepared? Should all health care workers be registered or certified? Who actually brings about healing in patients. These and other questions are answered by this experienced family nurse practitioner.
