Abstract
This qualitative naturalistic study was designed to explore how experienced certified holistic nurses (HNCs) learned to become competent as holistic nurse practitioners. This study is based on the following assumptions: (1) experienced HNCs were highly motivated to become an HNCs for different reasons; (2) the knowledge, skills and attitudes that experienced HNCs perceive they needed to know in order to become competent as holistic nurses practitioners would vary; (3) there would be no various paths through which these experienced HNCs acquired the knowledge, skills and attitudes they perceived they needed to become competent practitioners; (4) there would be many factors that facilitated and/or impeded the experienced HNCs ability to become competent practitioners.
