relationships are what give people the strength to heal in the face of major adversity, so a humanistic nurse can dramatically improve a chronically ill patient's odds for survival if he is receptive to this type of treatment. While humanistic nursing can provide hope and strength for a patient and her family where traditional nursing might not, you should never change your nursing staff or medical treatment without consulting all of your team of doctors. Also, many nurses who have not been trained in humanistic nursing still utilize these methods on a regular basis simply because they are good, empathetic nurses. Do not write off a medical professional just because she has not been officially trained in humanistic nursing.
