Healing presence, an aspect of integrative nursing, returns the focus of nursing to providing holistic and healing care to patients because the nurse’s focus is on being in the present moment and using patient-centered care to give conscious, compassionate care. In the module, one slide describes integrative nursing as “sets an intention to be a healing presence.” Healing presence depicts the involvement and relationship the nurse provides to the patient. If a nurse correctly applies integrative nursing with healing presence, then the nurse is implementing conscious and compassionate care. Furthermore, the nurse accomplishes this type of care because she provides care while she is physically, mentally, and emotionally in the present moment
