Erickson Named Holistic Nurse of the Year  

The American Holistic Nurses Association (AHNA) has recognized Helen Erickson, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN as AHNA 2012 Holistic Nurse of the Year (HNY) at the 32nd annual conference for her contributions in furthering the practice of holistic nursing and bringing caring and healing to the forefront of nursing practice. The HNY award is presented annually to recognize outstanding achievement in the field of holistic nursing.

"Dr. Erickson's work and life serve as exemplars for what it means to be a holistic nurse, both personally and professionally," said AHNA President Glenda Christiaens, PhD, RN, AHN-BC. "Her holistic and comprehensive approach fulfills nursing's commitment to clients and our role in society."

Dr. Erickson's establishment of the Society for the Advancement of Modeling and Role-Modeling (SAMRM) has been another means to provide resources for furthering the work of holistic nurses. Early on she recognized the need "to integrate self-care, self-responsibility, spirituality and reflection" in her life in order to be "an instrument of healing and a facilitator in the healing process."
