Nurse Moonjely Impresses at Clinical Ladder Symposium Registered Nurse Ansamma MoonJely is exceptionally passionate about holistic practice in nursing. In April, Nurse MoonJely brought that passion to the Clinician Ladder Symposium at Central. "Holistic Nursing practice is different from traditional Nursing as it focuses on well-being and multifaceted healing," said Nurse Moonjely during her presentation. "Traditional Nursing concentrates on treating symptoms. Holistic nurses incorporate those skills with attention to a patient's spiritual, emotional, psychological, and social well-being". Her presentation- The Benefits of Holistic Nursing- received an overwhelming response from a broad cross- section of health professionals across the Health + Hospitals system. "You did a great job explaining the purpose, background, and outcome of your project on the "Benefits of Holistic Nursing" and the application to practice for the neonate in the NICU," said Paula Brown, a Director of Nursing here at NCB. Senior Vice President of NYC Health + Hospitals, Dr. Natalia Cineas, was among the observers who recommended that the presentation be published on the AACN platform. "They were so impressed," Nurse Moonjely declared in an interview with the Public Affairs Department. "Holistic practice is enriching." Her presentation also focused on the modalities of holistic nursing, such as Acupressure, Touch, Reflexology, massage, aromatherapy, and meditation. Nurse Moonjely, RN, BSN-BC, HNB-BC, works with the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, NICU, at NCB. "I have been a NICU IC nurse for more than 33 years. I am very passionate about the alternative modalities", said Nurse Moonjely, a certified holistic nurse. She advocates holistic intervention as a safer alternative than pharmacological interventions for babies in pain management. According to studies, all procedural, repeated, and sustained pain can cause Neurological and psychological consequences, hypersensitivity to pain, also decreased immune function. It is also not just for babies. It's also for adults for Healthcare workers. Holistic practice reduces burnout.
