Advanced Holistic Nursing (AHN) - Fully Online
This 33 credit concentration advances knowledge of contemporary views of healing and holistic nursing practice grounded in caring. The Advanced Holistic Nursing (AHN) concentration courses offer content and practice in the integration of mind-body practices, manipulative body practices, and energy-based healing modalities to promote health and well-being. The Advanced Holistic Nursing Concentration does not prepare students to enter a Nurse Practitioner role. Completely online, full and part time study is available. The practicum needs of students in various geographic areas can be accommodated. Preceptor and practicum site decisions are determined in collaboration with Faculty. The practicum hours may be at the students' place of employment, if appropriate, with an approved preceptor. Students will earn a MSN degree and are eligible to sit for Board Certification in Advanced Holistic Nursing (AHN-BC). Applicants with an earned Master’s degree in Nursing can earn a Post-Master’s Certificate (PMC) in Advanced Holistic Nursing. A gap analysis is conducted to identify required courses and practicum hours.
FAU’s Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing is ranked by US News and World Reports as one of the top 50 Masters Programs in the US.
