Holistic nursing is not setting dependent but rather is based on the nurse's philosophy which guides their practice. If the nurse facilitates health, wellness, and well-being and plans care and interventions that integrate the client's mind-body-spirit then she/he/they is/are practicing Holistic Nursing. In summary, holistic nursing is not using healing or integrative therapies such as aromatherapy or energy work BUT how you show up as a nurse when working with people. Many holistic nurses use healing therapies but that is not what defines them as holistic nurses. It is their way of thinking and being not doing that demonstrates holistic nursing practice. Holistic nurses work in all settings and with all populations. If this is how you think about people and nursing and have met the hours required then you meet the practice requirement.
