nursing thoeries so broadly written they encorp alternative therapies

[Born To Be A Grandma]

I am a RN going for my BSN. (Yeah)

One of the assignments we have this week was to look up different types of listservs and discussion group on the web for nurses intrested in nursing theorists. Then we are to post a question to one of these sites. So yeah I finally figured out how to get onto one of these sites (Computer Challened ). So here is my question:

Which nursing theories are so broadly written they incorporate alternative therapies. Or if they aren't encorpoorated, they could be?

Thanks

I teach nursing theory -- and believe that almost all of the theories can include alternative therapies. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any theory that would not allow the incorporation of alternative theories.
