I am not into Nursing, but planning to do a course on Acupressure. I have seen and experienced effectiveness of Acupressure already. Now I know a few points, usage and also what is to be expected. Practitioners speaking about their experience - all that helped in understanding it as a whole. Its a wondeful course.. even if you are not a practitioner, but learn this for self care, its a great course to enroll.

I loved this course; so much so that I am continuing with my studies (Integrative nurse specialist). I have always felt that nursing had lost its 'connection' with its patients and this is just what I needed to ignite my passion for my profession. East Asian Medicine is so profound and fascinating. Wonderful lecturers. Well done Coursera.
