TMR Integrative Nursing (ISSN: 2522-6371)

Description

Integrative nursing has a history of more than 2000 years. There is a nursing care discussion about taking medicine for the patient in Shanghanlun, which was published in the third A.D. (Eastern Han Dynasty of China). Integrative nursing has both theoretical basis and rich practical experience. It has formed a multi-level education includeing nursing undergraduate, masters and PhD degrees and on-the-job training system. However, there is no specialized integrative nursing journal at home and abroad, resulting in the failure to spread timely a large part of the research results. Under the above situation, TMR Publishing Group launched TMR Integrative Nursing.
TMR Integrative Nursing is a fully refereed journal publishing original scholarly work that advances the international understanding and development of integrative nursing both as a profession and academic discipline. The Journal focuses on research and professional discussion papers with a sound scientific, theoretical or philosophical base.
