TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRODUCTION TO INTEGRATIVE NURSING
Very interesting and informative. I feel that the principles of integrative nursing are very applicable to my practice and will improve the care I provide.
What a wonderful, comprehensive course. A must for all new nurses! Very thorough, explained and demonstrated concepts well.
A great intro course with a lot of information that can be used in the workforce.
A deeper view and a side I didn't expect to see from a nurse's point of view, was taught to me with this course. Amazing!
