Abstract
Nursing in the nineties offers nurses many possibilities by synthesizing conventional approaches of the nursing process with newer perspectives of holistic health. The holistic nurse caring process is one way nurses can merge these two methods. The holistic nurse caring process suggests shifts in terminology and meaning for each of the five focal areas: from assess to access, nursing diagnosis to state of being, planning/goals to purpose, intervention to respond/influence, and evaluate to state of being. The access phase of the holistic nurse caring process utilizes a tool, the Holistic Nurse Access Tool. The tool is presented to offer nurses other possible ways to more fully connect with others. Each of the proposed phases is described.
