What makes the holistic approach so joyful is that it allows us to use our talents and our resources to guide our patients through this pathway. Holistic nursing just simply gets to the core of what we are about as professionals. In addition, the unit's improved physical design features private rooms, subdued colors and soft indirect lighting. Each private room has a window view. The unit's central work station is enclosed to diminish noise and increase privacy.
Some rooms offer the option for overnight stays by family members.
This can be especially important for the families who want to stay together. A family waiting room offers television, reading materials and sofas, as well as a kitchenette, so family members can prepare favorite dishes for their loved one. With the opening of this unit, begins an exciting era of patient care for Regions Hospital. In the future, aspects of the holistic nursing unit are expected to be adopted by nursing units throughout the hospital. Inc. All rights reserved.
