Alternative/Complementary Opportunities in Nursing

renerian, BSN, RN · Apr 14, 2003

Hello! I just got my BS/MS in holistic nutrition (science degrees). I am hoping to within the year open a nutritional consultation service. No prescribing just education of diet types, nutritional components and such. Teach on things like bioflavonoids, antioxidants and vitamins. I have an ADN as well. I love this topic and it does not come up much.

:roll what a wide open, expanding field! I primarily in a western practice (critical care) which is how I eat & pay my bills, but my second job is a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner (energy worker). I do this in an Alternative Health Center in my neighborhood. Business is slowly building as people learn what it is. I am also involved in teaching people how to care for themselves (what nurses do best). I integrate this into my full time practice by educating clients that they have the right to all kinds of choices, western (allopathic), eastern, native, or a combination. It is their choice to educate themselves & do what is best for them. No set regimen. Holism as it's best! :kiss

Renerian, You might look into the lecture circate as a option. We have one here in AL called Diversified Nursing that coodinates

different lecturers with a host of different topics, such as your interest. I took a class from this company that spoke on herbal contraindications & uses. It was a WEALTH of info that I never got in school. Share your knowlege with the RN's who will teach their clients the same! :chuckle

renerian,

what part of ohio are you from I am orginally from Athens Ohio. I became a travel nurse and landed in Utah with my new husband. I still travel presently to Washington but as i get older i want to phase out working in the Icus and do prevention and alternative medicine. I still come to ohio occasionally and do educational seminars on vitamins and antioxidants. If you have any ideas on this topic I would appreciate your help.

Thanks!
