It will also benefi t Nursing educators who are interested in creating competencies to include patient safety and professional caring into their curriculum, and healthcare providers who want to know more about patient safety and avoid the consequences of a devastating medical error and their costly repercussions.

5 contact hours Fee code: D (page 5) UMDNJ - Newark Saturday, October 3 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM MSB, Room B-610Instructor(s): McBride

Natural therapies, also known as complementary and alternative therapies, have long been a part of nursing practice. Florence Nightingale wrote in her most famous writing, Notes on Nursing,(1859) that nursing should touch patients and create healthy environments that facilitate healing. She wrote “nurses should be concerned with giving the patient proper food, air, light and rest.” As a part of this legacy nursing practice includes massage and holistic therapies, yet many of us know very little about natural therapies.

How can meditation, massage, therapeutic touch and herbal therapies help ease physical conditions like pain and hypertension? How can one learn these treatment modalities and incorporate them into daily practice? Is it possible for nurses to have a private practice in natural therapies that truly benefi ts patients? If you have asked yourself any of those questions this course is for you!

Th is one-day course will provide a manual and certify you in Reiki level one attunement.

History of Reiki: Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of energy healing and self-improvement which aims to treat the whole person, including body, emotions, mind and spirit . It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques. A very simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student during a Reiki class. Th is ability is passed on during an “attunement” given by a Reiki master and allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of “life force energy” to improve our own and our patients’ health and enhance quality of life.
