Hello to all Complementary Therapies Nurses' Interest Group (CTNIG) members...RNs and nursing students.
We have a wonderful summer/fall newsletter for you to peruse at your leisure.
Hopefully there is something of interest for everyone from an article on feng shui, colour and use of essential oils, to one nurse's perspective on self care, to current research on complementary therapies (CT).
We haven't forgotten about our student nurse members – we have some study tips for the upcoming school year as well as self-care ideas.
You're sure to like the refreshing virgin banana-pineapple pina colada recipe and enjoy the nursing humour cartoons, inspirational quotes, a 12 minute mediation and the "4-7-8" breathing technique.
If you're looking for some education opportunities and courses on holistic nursing we have included those resources here as well.
You may also want to take a serious look at the recruitment page for CTNIG executive and consider whether you can contribute a little of your time to making the CTNIG a strong and viable group in nursing and healthcare. No previous experience is necessary.
So sit back and take some time out for yourself to go through the newsletter a little at a time or all at once.
Take care,
