Clinical Practice Proposal
This Form is to be typed.
| Project Topic: Give a brief explanation of your topic and identify the QSEN.org competency (use the graduate competencies under education on QSEN.org) that you will address in your project.
The topic chosen is holistic nursing, which entails teaching patients and the rest of the population on how to maintain wellness and prevent diseases. This is most effective when applied to patients and their relatives to prevent a repeat incident, and also in high schools to make young adults equipped with health and wellness knowledge. Holistic nursing approach embraces the whole mind, body, and spirit approach in patient care (Jackson, 2012). This is informed by the realization that integration of the traditional practices with modern nursing is geared towards better patient outcomes and also for the society at large. The aim of this project is to expand holistic care from just the hospital to the community as a whole. The QSEN competency that relates to this issue of holistic nursing is Quality Improvement.

| Discuss Health Care Organization (this is not the facility/organization where you are implementing your project, may be a nursing organization, or any organization which sets standards, conducts research, or publishes evidence based literature in relation to your topic) that will help support your project. Discussion should include the mission/values of the organization (in your own words). Provide citations and references (no direct quotes).
The health care organization that can support this issue is the World Health Organization (WHO). This organization mandates itself with the creation of a better and healthier future for people globally. This global organization has offices in more than 150 countries and works in partnership with governments and other organizations (Cohen & Boni, 2016). Given the fact that this project intends to improve health outcomes, it is in line with the mission of WHO.
