I believe in Holistic care: Florence Nightingale, who believed in care that focused on unity, wellness, and the interrelationship of human beings and their environment, is considered to be one of the first holistic nurses. Holistic nursing is defined as “all nursing practice that has healing the whole person as its goal” (American Holistic Nurses’ Association, 1998, Description of Holistic Nursing). Holistic nursing is a specialty practice that draws on nursing knowledge, theories, expertise and intuition to guide nurses in becoming therapeutic partners with people in their care. This practice recognizes the totality of the human being - the interconnectedness of body, mind, emotion, spirit, social/cultural, relationship, context, and environment. The holistic nurse is an instrument of healing and a facilitator in the healing process. Holistic nurses honor each individual's subjective experience about health, health belies and values.

Nursing Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations.

reflection: Reflection has the potential to help nurses to develop from their practice. All my nursing life I have found joy in helping care for others and their needs. I am glad that I had the chance to complete my post registration course at Ballarat University. During my course I felt well supported by my tutors and considered their input to be of great help to me during the course. Although sometimes the new education system and new atmosphere find it hard to accept praise for my action also welcome it as it gives me confidence and lets me know that I am doing correctly. In my nursing study I felt that I am supported by my tutors .They help me to achieve the student independence in order to use my initiative and become self motivated

From the past decades, nursing has progressed from reliance on emperical theory applied to practice to a recognition that experience develops knowldge that can guide the actions of the practioners. Reflection is a means of surfacing experimental knowledge, and we can use the reflection as our experince of nursing accumulates. being a novice nurse, there are not much to reflect on my practice but i value every experience i had so far as an nurse and will continue to do so. Modern healthcare practices are the result of ever changing regulation and monitoring aimed at improving the client experience and improving quality of life. The implementation of patient care in hospitals has evolved dramatically in recent times and now centres around collaboratively working with different teams towards an improvement in client care and outcomes and benefiting the different professionals. Collaborative working is inclusive of the patient as an active partner in his care. PROFESSIONALS AFFILIATIONS
