Unit 7 blog,

The track # 4 was nice. We have had a lot of information of how we can incorporate integral health into our lives. I just feel that one step at a time is good enough for me. I feel that I am still way back from the beginning of the class with recognizing my thoughts and why I am thinking the way I do. I know professor is always saying progress and not perfection so that is where I am at. I feel that if you ask to much at one time, they can get overwhelmed and quit all together. I understand for this class, we have to be introduced to each concept but once done, I will continue to grow. I am sure it is a slow process but plan to continue to work towards it.


I agree with the statement, "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself” (P.477).  I believe that is why we have such diversity. Not everyone can experience the same thing every day. I believe that the world we be a very dull place to live. I feel that God has put us here for each other. What I have experienced in my life may help a married couple in crisis but could mean nothing to a couple who is not going through any trouble.

I have been in the nursing field for 16 years now, yes that is a while and no I am not old :), but one of the things I have always wanted my patients to feel from me is peace and comfort. I believe a gentle smile is very important. I feel that is a piece of nursing that has been forgotten about or maybe overlooked. In return, when I have been in the hospital having my children, I had a few nurses who were able to do the same for me. As I continue to grow spiritually and psychologically, I will be able to have more of an impact on the care provided to patients and to staff.
