Thursday, November 29, 2012 - 7:00pm - 8:30pm

Join Sharon Olson Ph. D., GNP, for a presentation of her newly published book, The Ecology of Wellness for Nurses - A Personal and Professional Resource.

Olson will offer an overview of an ecological model for nurses encouraging  meaningful insights and understanding for what it means to be a healing presence for both self and others. She stresses that nursing is more than a skill. It is also an art uniquely touching the heart of every nurse who will courageously open to it. Complimentary copies of her book will be offered to attendes to foster their personal and professional wellness and ultimately the future well being of nursing as a most remarkable profession.

Olson graduated from Trinity Hospital of Nursing in Mino, North Dakota. She holds a B.S.N, a master's degree in both community service and nursing, and a Ph.D. in family ecology from Michigan State University.

  • Thank you to our wonderful library for helping me with this opportunity to present an overview of my book. I will be bringing my harp also as it relates to the last chapter of the book. If you are wondering where Mino ND. is, it is actually Minot, ND. where my father was stationed at the Air Force Base. I look forward to our time together.

  • Loved the book and would love to get together with any kindred spirits at this presentation. Any one interested in self care and empowering others to take care of themselves, physically, emotionally and spiritually will find this a wonderful guide. Sharon is a pioneer in music therapy in the Traverse City area and has started an inspirational harp program for healing. Not to be missed. She is a true treasure to us all. --Eileen Hatch and family. - by Daniel Hatch on Wed, 11/21/2012 - 8:59pm
  • A innovative concept for nurses and all caregivers whether caring for family, for patients and for ourselves. Introduces music as a caring modality, promoting wellness for our spirit in a very special way. I have seen music via headphones soothe patients undergoing anesthesia & surgery. Live harp music at the bedside adds another dimension to this phenomena. Looking forward to learning more. - by Susan E. Hunt Hughes on Wed, 11/28/2012 - 2:48pm
