Holistic nursing in New Zealand.
New Zealand nurses are active and dynamic emerging holistic practitioners. Despite an economic recession and dramatic changes in their health care delivery systems, the country's holistic nurses have mobilized to develop and begin a holistic nurses' association. Holistic nurses from both islands have begun independent practices using complementary therapies and modalities. Although New Zealand is distant from North America geographically, there have been increasing numbers of exchange visits and subsequent influence on international holistic nursing practice. New Zealand, being a lush, green, clean, semitropical country in the South Pacific, is a wonderful place for North American nurses to experience cross-cultural nursing while still being in an English-speaking country.
