- Conventional Nurse to Holistic Nurse Program. ‘Conventional’ is in no way meant contemptuously! By ‘conventional’ we just mean LVN’s and RN’s who have followed a mainstream education, without any emphasis on holistic principles or holistic nursing practice. We are convinced that also you think it’s essential to look at people as a whole human being.

Our Complete BSN Curriculum
Below, you will find our complete, full-time, 4-year Holistic BSN level curriculum. CUN’s curriculum is ‘concept based’. This means, that content is not (only) offered in a traditional way, plenary in-class, using textbooks. Instead, different phenomena, health related issues, nursing related issues and patient-related issues, are analyzed in a ‘top-down’ fashion, starting with a concept as the ‘greatest common divisor’, the ‘main theme’, so to speak. That means, that program-items and courses are not necessarily offered in a traditional ‘one course at the time’ method. The emphasis is on the (inter)relationships between and within concepts, touching different topics at the same time, analyzing healthcare scenarios.
Therefore, the structure you find in the overview below does not necessarily reflect course-plans and the way in which or the order in which courses and subject matter are actually offered.
