Complementary and Alternative Therapies

I am currently in nursing school (first semester!) and I'm curious if and how complementary and alternative therapy actually fits into your nursing plan of care. Obviously this would vary greatly by patient but are there any nurses out there that recommend CAT? If so, what specific recommendations have you made? How is the recommendation received by patients? Doctors? Thanks for the insight!

I'm 31, a mother of 3 (ages 10, 3 and 2) and just started my first semester of nursing school. I am doing well and beginning to figure out how to balance my responsibility as a mother, family time, household chores and nursing school. But I have completely let my diet/exercise fall to wayside and I really cannot image waking up a minute earlier to work out. How are you making your health a priority when it seems to be the only thing on my list that can be pushed aside? I need to establish a way to fit working out and eating healthy into my routine now!
