Healing Touch: An Integrative Approach for the Nurse Practitioner (Practice Column) (Column‪)‬

As new editor of the practice column, I am pleased to introduce the writing of a graduate student of mine in the Wilson School of Nursing: Nicole Hooper. She has written this manuscript as part of her master's degree research project. How wonderful it has been to see Nicole discover the marvels of the human energy field, and to gain understanding of how the works of Martha Rogers and Susan Leddy apply to her project. Nicole has joined the Society of Rogerian Scholars in order to attain further knowledge and support on her new journey as a nurse practitioner. Her article aptly describes how Rogers' SUHB and Leddy's Human Energy Model can be applied to the practice of the nurse practitioner. As editor of this column, I invite you to send your manuscripts to Valerie S. Eschiti at Midwestern State University, Wichita Falls, TX or email to Valerie.eschiti@mwsu.edu.
