St. Francis Xavier University.

Parse's theory of human becoming provides a foundation for understanding holistic nursing practice. The purpose of this article is to provide a description of Parse's theory based on an interpretive analysis of the author's nursing practice experiences. The interpretive analysis is not an outcome of formal study but results from reflective thought and journal writing. Details from reflections on nursing care experiences were analyzed for the concepts, processes, and rhythms inherent to Parse's theory. Praxis of Parse's theory creates the opportunity for nurses, patients, and families to reach profound dimensions of the human experience and participate in multidimensional healing. Outcomes of praxis for nurses also include personal and professional growth as well as discernment of holistic nursing practice.
