The principles of integrative nursing provide a framework that can facilitate the teaching of clinical decision-making. A major challenge in clinical settings is symptom management. The principles of integrative nursing will be used to illustrate how both staff nurses and advance practice nurses can skillfully move from less intensive/invasive interventions to more depending on the patient’s needs/context. Innovative educational strategies will be discussed including an immersion experiential learning session in a CAM institution that was funded through a HRSA grant and an easy to use online tool that can be used to create realistic scenarios.

Learning Objectives
- Discuss how integrative nursing principles can guide clinical decision making to improve symptom management
- Describe a model for teaching integrative nursing in an interprofessional setting
- Demonstrate the use of an on-line tool called storyline that can be used to create engaging, real-life patient scenarios
