We are excited to welcome Carolyn Cros, a member of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses, and Sharlene Chisholm, a member of the National Black Nurses Association, as our first 2022 Holistic Nursing Fellows.
My name is Carolyn Cros. I have been a nurse since 2018 when I passed my NCLEX. In 2020 I started working in Oncology. I currently have my BSN and am currently pursuing my BSN-DNP at the University of Alabama. This program is a double major in Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I obtained this fellowship through the joint venture with NAHN (National Association of Hispanic Nurses). I am so grateful for the opportunity to grow and learn more about incorporating a more holistic approach to my nursing practice.
Sharlene Chisolm is a Family Nurse Practitioner and Intensive Care Registered Nurse, proudly serving with the Greater New York City Chapter of the Black Nurses Association. Working on the Covid-19 frontlines emphasized her passion for helping people optimize their lives using lifestyle and plant medicine. To further her studies she is studying functional medicine, cannabis medicine, and now pursuing board certification from the American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation. She looks forward to serving the NYC communities in primary care and holistic nursing.
Each year, the AHNCC Equality, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice (EEDISJ) Committee looks at a list of identified national nursing organizations that are focused on diverse nursing populations. They select and invite the next two organizations to participate.
The invited organizations then select the fellow from their membership.
The first two approached in 2022 were the National Association of Hispanic Nurses (NAHN) and the National Black Nurses Association (NBNA).
