The new frontier is bringing healing presence back into the work of nursing to balance a system that is out of control. First, we need to stop treating nurses like replaceable parts and realize that the true healing environment is the nurse.

Re: On Healing Presence

Yes, yes...I worry so that,in our mechanistic world, we have lost sight of this. Alas, I see now that it's the hospice volunteer that seems to do so much of the real healing. While that's a good thing, how can we be more active in getting this message across to the powers that be.

Re: On Healing Presence

Very good article. Jo Ellen Koerner is a smart lady to listen and bring back healing presence to the modern world. Her article speaks true to all that works with those that need our help.
