We seem to be living in an age of deceptive artistry—curated digital personas, filters that can make a person appear a different age or gender, cakes that look like mundane objects. The fascination with illusion, the familiar masquerading as the unexpected, is not necessarily novel; the technique of trompe l'oeil, French for “trick of the eye,” has captivated people for centuries. Imagination is key, from both the creator and the audience; the former needs it to execute, while the latter needs it to engage. There is a dialogue between creativity and perception, where the boundaries between reality and artifice blur in a spectacle of the senses. Dream Totem, 2023 | Polished Stainless Steel and Marble Base | 114 x 18 x 12 inches Enter luminary sculpture artist Jon Koehler, who transforms stainless steel into enchanting, balloon-like forms. The self-taught San Diego native has forged his practice over the last four decades to push the boundaries of steel sculpture, creating dynamic pieces that subvert all expectations of the medium. Koehler's work sits at the intersection of tradition and innovation, drawing inspiration from the great masters of sculpture and structure—Alexander Calder's kinetic mobiles, Fletcher Benton's balance of shapes, Giacometti's slender and “out of proportion” figures, and Da Vinci's masterful engineering. These influences resonate in his work, guiding him forward while instilling humility and a burning desire to create.​​ At the heart of Koehler's latest series lies an ambition to create space for viewers to reflect and draw out narratives from the intriguing forms he crafts from steel. Triad, 2023 | Polished Stainless Steel and Marble Base | 47 x 22 x 11 inches Koehler—who this year signed on for exclusive representation through Avant Gallery and will make his Miami Art Week debut at the gallery’s booth at Art Miami art fair—continually strives to push the limits of steel sculpture. His most recent evolution introduces letters resembling mylar balloons, arranged vertically as totems, bearing messages that are unfailingly positive, motivating, and uplifting. The pinnacle of Koehler’s new body of work, a text-based sculpture entitled Dream Totem, offers an immersive encounter, challenging the viewer’s perspective and underscoring a whimsical approach to a rigid medium. The gravity-defying tower of letters is finished with mirrored surfaces that morph and refract with every subtle movement, and casts a shadow that reinforces this call to action: Dream. Koehler sees his art as a medium for inspiration, reflecting his aspiration to spread positivity. Prismatica, 2023 | Polished Stainless Steel, Translucent Paint, and Marble Base | 68 x 20 x 21 inches A self-described observer and experimenter, Koehler's artistic process is an act of co-creation, allowing the sculpture to materialize through him; a synergy of intention and spontaneity. In the world of metalworking, he stands at the forefront of innovation, employing a cutting-edge method of “laser welding” to hold pressures ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 psi. The true magic, Koehler notes, unfolds above 1,500 psi, revealing the stainless steel's transformation into captivating convex and concave shapes. Works such as Prismatica exemplify this moment of magic, the inflated curved forms subvert how steel is expected to behave. Koehler recently began incorporating translucent paint, further transforming the steel shapes, adding an aura of flair, playfulness, and imagination. Adulate, 2022 | Polished Stainless Steel and Marble Base | 76 x 22 x 18 inches Koehler’s ingenuity and willingness to experiment can be traced back to his upbringing immersed in his family’s boat building business. The meticulous processes he was exposed to from a young age, from constructing tools and fixtures to crafting unusual shapes, laid the foundation for his artistic endeavors. Welding and metalworking—skills Koehler demonstrated an early affinity for and honed in the boatyard—became the precursor to his current mastery of shaping stainless steel into unexpected forms. Koehler finds inspiration not only in his own past, but in his surroundings as well; nature in particular serves as his boundless wellspring. Fascinated by the harmony of forms dictated by the principles of Fibonacci, he incorporates these proportions into his work, seeking to achieve effortless balance. As a self-taught artist, Koehler emphasizes the importance of allowing the creation to manifest itself, welcoming unexpected discoveries that arise from the intentional act of letting go. In a society saturated with spectacle, Jon Koehler's work beckons us to engage in a deeper, more meaningful exploration of art and the limitless possibilities that lie beyond the surface.

Swiss sportswear brand ‘On’ (www.on-running.com) has opened its newest store in Miami, marking the company’s continued retail expansion and fifth location in the U.S. Encompassing 3,229 square feet of retail space in the heart of Miami’s upscale designer precinct, the store will showcase On’s latest footwear and performance apparel innovations while inviting guests to experience subtle design hues reflecting Miami’s tropical outdoor elements and cultural artistic heritage. "Miami connects performance and design like no other city in the world, and blending those two things is core to On's DNA," said Martin Hoffmann, Co-CEO and CFO at On. “Our new store will help us create more intimate touchpoints with our athletes and fans in this city, taking their experience with our footwear and apparel to new levels." Blending the elements of raw nature with advanced technology, the store’s design takes inspiration from its local surroundings. The earthy color scheme and sand-grain infused cement panels are designed to evoke the warmth and nature of Miami Beach. The centerpiece of On Miami is its Magic Wall, an immersive, more than eight-foot tall structure that innovates the traditional retail experience by giving shoppers an immediate try-on of On’s latest footwear. Featuring hidden drawers with a full size-run of On’s latest footwear, the Magic Wall eliminates the time shoppers typically spend waiting to receive sizes and allows for more valuable interaction with On’s expert store advisors. On Miami also features the brand’s latest interpretation of its alpine boulder, a structure found in many On stores around the world. Each boulder is a 3D-scanned recreation of an actual boulder in the Swiss Alps – where On’s story began – with details tailored to each location’s culture. To design the boulder in its Miami store, On collaborated with sustainability-focused artist Lucas Muñoz Muñoz. The boulder inside On Miami features hand-hammered metal contours treated with the latest advancements in automobile chromaflair paint, inspired by the art deco and car culture Miami is known for. As viewers move around the boulder, they have the illusion of changing colors, giving the installation a dynamic and interactive experience. In addition to On Miami being a dedicated space for community experiences and events, the store will host Run Clubs every Wednesday, inviting guest hosts to co-lead the group along the city’s most popular routes. “Our new store in Miami underscores our continued investment in the Americas, which is On's biggest market and our biggest growth driver globally,” said Britt Olsen, GM of the Americas and Head of Global Commercial Strategy. “We’re grateful for the opportunity to grow a new community of On athletes and movers in Miami, and to connect more closely with those who are already fans of our brand. Portland, Austin, Chicago… you’re next!” Since its founding in 2010, On has become one of the fastest growing sportswear brands in the world. In Q2 2023, On reported CHF 444.3 million in net sales (more than $500 million USD) – the highest in the company’s history – and a growth rate of more than 52 percent year-over-year globally. On Miami joins the brand’s growing roster of stores, marking its 27th store globally. On Miami 125 NE 40th St, Miami, FL 33137 Mon - Sat 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Sunday 12:00 to 6:00 p.m. By ML Staff.

Lincoln Road – the retail and restaurant heart of Miami Beach for decades – is alive with new activity and excitement fueled by the development of nearby luxury hotels and condos, new tenants along the eight-block, international destination and a stakeholder-driven program to engage locals and visitors. Soon Miami Beach’s first amateur doubles pickleball tournament will be held on the district, Marco Cochrane’s 45-foot tall sculpture straight from the Burning Man Festival will be installed, and area hotels will add more 5-star restaurants to expand on the delicious food and unique experiences that have made Mila Miami a global restaurant star. Developers are using billions of dollars in private investment to transform the iconic buildings and neighborhoods around the iconic Morris Lapidus-designed outdoor district, which includes City Hall and the Miami Beach Convention Center, which recently underwent a $600 million renovation. All this investment will in turn draw more people to the area, driving more foot traffic to Lincoln Road stores and generating excitement about the present and future of South Beach. Lyle Stern, President of the Lincoln Road Business Improvement District, made up of district stakeholders, says that all the projects are creating a connective tissue between the surrounding neighborhoods that will improve everyone’s quality of life. He points to the overlooked fact that much of Lincoln Road is dedicated park space, with lush landscaping that Fairchild Tropical Garden called one of the nation’s most important subtropical and botanical installations. He also points to upgrades by the City, inspired by the James Corner Lincoln Road District masterplan, that are upgrading lights, landscaping and more. “Whether it’s Sunset Harbour, South Pointe, Espanola Way, Lincoln Road or Collins Avenue, these are not islands unto themselves. They should all flow with an amicable purpose,” Stern explained. “Lincoln Road is at the heart of it, serving both residents and visitors.” Some of the most ambitious projects include developer Michael Shvos’ plan to construct a Rosewood-branded Raleigh hotel, condos, a luxury hotel, Class A offices and retail around Lincoln Road. The long shuttered Epicure Gourmet Market on Alton Road will be home to a 250,000-square-foot project designed by acclaimed architect Norman Foster. The owners of The Ritz-Carlton South Beach and Sagamore South Beach hotels - the Lowenstein, Kanavos, and Ben-Josef families - are also proposing two luxury condominium projects adjacent to their properties and teaming up with the City to upgrade the 100-300 blocks of Lincoln Road to include shaded areas, water features and lush landscaping. A $362 million 800-room Grand Hyatt is rising next to the Miami Beach Convention Center, The Fillmore Miami Beach at Jackie Gleason Theater, currently under renovation, and the world famous Miami Beach Botanical Garden. Developed by Terra Group and Turnberry, the Arquitectonica-designed hotel is only steps away from the New World Symphony Concert Hall, and where films are projected onto a multi-story screen while picnickers chill sitting on blankets in the park. The redevelopment of Lincoln Road, known as the James Corner plan, is a $60.5 million project including the pedestrianization of Drexel Avenue between Lincoln Lane South and Lincoln Lane North, restoration of the historic Morris Lapidus structures, iconic gateway signs and more, is set to be completed by fall 2027. Lincoln Road is adding to the diverse mix of 281 businesses that drew 8 million visitors in 2021 to the outdoor paradise. The arrival of 10 big brand tenants including hot footwear brand Hoka shoe company, joining the always busy Nike shoe store, where locals meet up every Thursday for group runs, and the Adidas store that stocks the hot pink Lionel Messi soccer gear that has become the unofficial jersey of Miami. Also on the way is luxury swimwear designer Luli Fama, whose bikinis, one-piece suits and accessories are worn from the white sand beaches and turquoise waters of the Seychelles to Mallorca and San Andres, Colombia to Miami Beach. Visitors walking the district will also have more choices for casual fare, with the addition of Cheesecake Factory, Osteria da Fortunata and IT Italian Trattoria. The ambitious, innovative projects and exciting new tenants will expand the spectrum of visitors and locals to include more high-end consumers, driving an expansion of offerings on Miami Beach and inviting more stakeholders to invest in the community. “The level of investment and new and exciting brands coming to the area underscore the growth underway, and that businesses are investing in the future of South Beach,” said Mindy Mcllroy, President of Terranova, the largest single property owner on Lincoln Road. “Now is the time to invest in Lincoln Road as many of the projects proposed are already underway and set to open soon.” Family offices are also opening near Lincoln Road, with car mavens the Potamkins paying more than $10 million for commercial space at 16th Street and Alton Road and more families with offices in Sunset Harbour, located just east of The Standard Spa, Miami Beach. The district is also a cultural hub for cutting-edge galleries, artists, musical performances, ballet and international events that are the focus of the winter season including Art Basel Miami Beach, North America’s most comprehensive international contemporary art fair. A snapshot of all the great happenings: Lincoln Road Activations Situated in the heart of Miami Beach, the Lincoln Road district is a premier retail, lifestyle and cultural destination that is home to about 200 restaurants and shops, entertainment, and arts and cultural offerings. Lincoln Road ranked as the most-visited open-air destination in South Florida, with over 8 million visits in 2021. To build on its popularity Lincoln Road, the City of Miami Beach and stakeholder-funded Lincoln Road Business Improvement District (BID), is hosting Living Art, a botanical collaboration that will bring together Miami’s top landscapers to revitalize and elevate the area from Washington to Meridian avenues. In addition, Lincoln Road has introduced programming meant to draw locals and tourists to the road from weekly wellness activations to the South Beach Slam, an amateur pickleball doubles tournament taking over the road at 1665 Lennox Avenue in November. Smormasburg Miami, a gathering of international food vendors, is held on Friday afternoons at the west end of the district. Year round art displays and cultural events are also planned as part of the activation program paid for by the Lincoln Road Business Improvement District. As a cultural and educational destination, Lincoln Road draws locals and visitors alike to a wide spectrum of the arts, including Miami New Drama at The Colony Theatre, Oolite Arts, focused on the advancement of contemporary visual arts, The Bass contemporary art museum, Florida International University’s College of Architecture + The Arts Miami Beach Urban Studios, a creative space for students and the community, the New World Symphony Concert Hall and Music School, and the Miami City Ballet, all located in one of the most vibrant urban centers in the world. Ritz-Carlton and Sagamore Revitalization Project The Lowenstein, Kanavos, and Ben-Josef families – owners of The Ritz-Carlton South Beach (1 Lincoln Rd.) and Sagamore South Beach (1617 Collins Ave.) hotels – are working with the City on a public-private-partnership that would invest $12 million to improve the 100-300 blocks of Lincoln Road on the east end. The plan is designed to beautify the area by upgrading landscaping, adding water features and incorporating structures for shade, making it a more inviting and enjoyable for pedestrians, and would reroute traffic to make driving safer. Additionally, a 15-story condo would be built on land adjacent to the Sagamore and Ritz-Carlton, South Beach, and a 30-residence would rise behind the Sagamore. The José Andrés Group, with a footprint of 30 restaurants nationwide, would also be running all food and beverage at the Sagamore. citizenM Hotel World famous citizenM Hotels, with properties in London, Paris, New York, Copenhagen and more, plans a five-story, 168-room hotel at 1628-34 Alton Road with a rooftop amenity.

Ten North Group is pleased to announce Art of Transformation: AFRICA GLOBAL, the 2023 conceptual framework exhibiting the diversity of African Diasporic communities and their varied experiences, taking place during Art Basel Miami Beach 2023 and Miami Art Week 2023. This annual program is designed to explore issues in African and African Diaspora contemporary art and brings artists of African descent from around the world to Miami in a series of exhibitions, panel discussions, performances and film screenings. Ten North Group presents AFRICA GLOBAL in Opa-locka, FL, from December 3 through December 10, 2023. Cartographies Of Displacement / Cartografías Del Desplazamiento (On View Dec 6 - 10) Curators: Helen Ceballos & Abdiel D. Segarra Ríos (Puerto Rico) Location: The Pavilion, 650 Ali Baba Ave., Opa-Locka, FL 33054 The arts festival in the architecturally distinct city of Opa-locka will offer six exhibitions, including works from Puerto Rican artists, a sculpture pavilion, a book installation resisting the erasure of Black literature, and works from Ten North Group’s extensive collection of art from Africa, the Caribbean, and the Diaspora. Programming events include “Landscape Noir,” a conversation on how the arts can be used as a catalyst to transform previously forgotten communities (Dec. 4); A “Performance & Voguing Workshop” with Afro-Caribbean artist Edrimael Delgado Reyes (Dec. 8); an Afro-Cuban dance performance by the Ife-Ile Dance Company (Dec. 3); and the headline event featuring a panel discussion led by curator Tumelo Mosaka, followed by a film screening by artist Marrero Sanchez on grief, identity, colonialism and gender (Dec. 9). Fragmented Worlds / Coherent Lives (On View Dec 6 - Feb 28) Curator: Tumelo Mosaka (South Africa) Location: The Art & Recreation Center (ARC), 675 Ali Baba Ave, Opa-Locka, FL 33054 “We are thrilled to announce our participation in this year’s Art Basel Miami Beach,” says Dr. Willie Logan, the President and CEO of Ten North Group. “Art of Transformation strengthens our commitment to catalyze meaningful dialogue within our community and globally while establishing our City as a world-class destination to experience art of the African Diaspora. Our goal is to inspire, empower, and educate South Florida’s diverse communities and to expose our visitors to the exceptional artistic talent that exists in Africa and the African Diaspora.” Garden Of Humanity (On View Dec 6 - June 30) Curator: James Brazil (Australia) Location: The VFW Lot, 757 Ali Baba Ave., Opa-Locka, FL 33054 INFORMATION ON ART EXHIBITIONS Fragmented Worlds / Coherent Lives (on view Dec. 6 - Feb. 28) Curator: Tumelo Mosaka (South Africa) Location: The Art & Recreation Center (ARC), 675 Ali Baba Ave, Opa-locka, FL 33054 Fragmented Worlds / Coherent Lives is an exhibition drawing on concepts informed by fragmentation, mobility, and adaptation. Borrowing its title from Pnina Motzafi-Haller’s book by the same name, artists in this exhibition present multiple narratives drawing on memory, history, and lived experience to express ways identities become fragmented and sometimes contradictory. Working between concrete and subconscious ideas, artists weave coherent narratives that challenge representations of Africa today. Cartographies of Displacement / Cartografías del Desplazamiento (on view Dec. 6 - 10) Curators: Helen Ceballos & Abdiel D. Segarra Ríos (Puerto Rico) Location: The Pavilion, 650 Ali Baba Ave., Opa-locka, FL 33054 Cartographies of Displacement brings together the work of Puerto Rican artists who, through their respective practices, reflect on what is produced in the junctures that displacement provokes. The exhibition comments on the experiences that accumulate in the everyday—the ways in which we live and negotiate with the forces that displace us, the changes that undergo the landscape—politically and infrastructurally inside and outside the city— and the ways in which we conceive geography within the archipelago and in the diaspora, physically and temporally. Alongside these observations on the setting, the curatorial work reflects on the production of subjectivities and the questioning of hegemonic identities —individual and collective—and on how this has repercussions on the articulation of historical narratives and the right to remember. Garden of Humanity (on view Dec 6 - June 30) Curator: James Brazil (Australia) Location: The VFW Lot, 757 Ali Baba Ave., Opa-locka, FL 33054 The sculpture pavilion presents two new large-scale sculptural acquisitions by the Ten North Group in a lushly designed garden: 1. Yemaya Ten North Group is pleased to unveil the newest work by contemporary artist Juan Roberto Diago Durruthy “Diago” (Cuba), a six-foot bronze sculpture titled Yemaya, after the goddess of the living ocean, the mother of all. Yemaya will be exhibited in dialogue with the spirits that accompanied African peoples during the crossing of the Atlantic Ocean known as the Middle Passage. 2. The Cedar Men Sculptor and performer Jems Robert Koko Bi (Côte d’Ivoire), whose work mixes avant-gardist influences and the artist’s African history, has created five six-foot-tall works which are sculpted from a single cedar trunk weighing half a ton each. The Cedar Men tells the history of humanity through the earth's first inhabitants in Africa as the works initiate a conversation with the forces of nature, the ancestors, the native land, and the exile. New Acquisitions: The Ségou Collection (I’ve Known Rivers) (on view Dec. 6 - 10) Curator: Professor Abdoulaye Konaté (Mali) Location: The Hurt Building, 490 Opa-locka Blvd., Opa-locka, FL 33054 The exhibition is a cartography of how continental African artists create in-situ modes of intervention in response to issues that beset their continent by providing counter-narratives of radical autonomy beyond the rehashed tacit necessity of the place of art in society. I've Known Rivers is an homage to the poem ”The Negro Speaks of Rivers” by Langston Hughes, first published in The Crisis in June 1921, but most importantly, for the 57th anniversary of his reading it at the First World Festival of Black Arts in Dakar, Senegal, in 1966. The Ségou Art collection that Ten North Group acquired in 2022 comprises works by African artist finalists for the Ségou Art Fair selection on the banks of the mythical African Niger River. The Niger River echoes the Mississippi in a call and answer resonating across the Atlantic Ocean. Required Reading: Art in Public Places (on view Dec. 6 - 10) Location: The Airspace Around The Art & Recreation Center (ARC), 675 Ali Baba Ave, Opa-locka, FL 33054 As knowledge produced by African and African Diaspora intellectuals and artists is being debated, legislated, and litigated, Required Reading calls for a return to memory land where what “they” ban becomes required. This Art in Public Places exhibition appropriates a plurality of works by African and African Diaspora writers and artists as a reflection of polyvocality and decentering of knowledge in a time of a legislative construction of ignorance and new cartographies of power and exclusion.

Louis Vuitton’s new fragrance Myriad, the sixth opus in the Les Extraits Collection, is now available. Jacques Cavallier Belletrud continues his reinterpretation of great themes in perfumery through a collaboration with legendary architect Frank Gehry to create Myriad, a fragrance that consists of a fabulously complex smell and uniquely rich history. The fragrance smells of made-to-measure rose, saffron, cocoa extract, ambrette, and white musk, with a final touch of moss, compiling it into a scent that is best expressed in oxymorons. Intense but light, black but comprised of a thousand colors, Myriad pays tribute to the extraordinary color palette of life and looks to nature for design inspiration with a bold hue of tawny red and amber pink.

Nursing education is what makes a healthcare system work. It turns out doctors and nurses who are caring and informed. There has been a move in education lately toward a more whole-person approach that looks at how the mind, body, and spirit are all connected. It is important to look at things as a whole, as this piece does when it talks about the role of beauty in nursing education. What Nursing School Is Not There are many intellectual and hands-on activities that can help you get ready for a nursing job that are part of nursing education. It has always been very important for these schools to teach both theoretical information and clinical skills. But people are starting to see things from an even broader point of view. Why a complete plan is important For nursing education to be complete, it must consider the student as a whole. It should include how his mental, physical and social environment affects learning. This way also aims to improve the mental and emotional health of the students. Beauty's Place in Nursing Education The use of beauty is unique and important in the area of nursing education. Aside from the normal focus on clinical skills and theoretical knowledge, beauty can help make learning more complete and enjoyable. Many nursing students get stressed out because of how hard school is. They find comfort and drive in places that focus on beauty. The use of natural elements, the way learning tools look, and the general structure of learning spaces all work together to make a good place to learn. Beautiful things are not only nice to look at, but they are also useful in the classroom. When you try to teach nursing in a way that takes into account and cares for the mind, body, and spirit, beauty plays an even bigger role. The integration of aesthetic elements extends to various facets, including nursing essay writing service online. A well-designed and visually appealing essay-writing service dedicated to nursing students not only aids in academic endeavors but also contributes to the overall well-being of learners. It goes beyond the transactional nature of traditional services, creating a supportive and engaging platform that aligns with the holistic principles of nursing education. By recognizing the importance of aesthetics in websites, students not only receive valuable academic assistance but also experience a sense of care and consideration that reflects the holistic approach to their educational journey. A Synopsis of Conventional Nursing Education In the past, the main goals of nursing school were to teach technical skills and information. This plan is very important, but it might not take into account the wants of all nursing students or the people who work in healthcare. Traditional Methods' Limitations The traditional way of doing things might lead to nursing students getting burned out and less satisfied with their jobs. A lack of attention to beauty and mental health could lead to a learning space that is cold and unwelcoming. Accepting a Holistic Viewpoint Traditional methods have flaws, but a holistic approach sees how the mental, emotional, and physical parts are all linked. Its goal is to make a school setting that is friendly, helpful, and values each person as a whole. The Psychological Effects of Beauty on Learning Beauty affects motivation, mood, and cognitive performance, among other psychological aspects. An attractive environment improves concentration and promotes optimism. This in turn contributes to a more productive learning environment. Enhancing Self-Belief in Students Using beauty in the classroom can help students develop a sense of self-worth. It gives them a place where their creativity and uniqueness is valued. This confidence shows up in the work that nurses do, making them skilled and sure of themselves. Establishing a Good Learning Environment Having beauty in the classroom makes it a better place to be, which lowers stress and strain. An setting that is calm and friendly makes it easier for nursing students to work together and talk to each other clearly. Using Nature in the Classroom Both the body and the mind benefit from being in nature. Adding natural elements to the classroom improves well-being. Natural materials contribute to the feeling of connection with the outside world. Students' Physical Health in Nursing Students' physical health is taken into consideration in holistic nursing education. This entails encouraging wholesome behaviors, ergonomic learning environments, and wellness-promoting activities. Creating Visually Appealing Educational Resources A lot of what people learn and remember is based on how the things are put together. It's easier to learn and understand hard ideas when the graphics are clear and the material is well put together and engaging. Nature-based themes in the classroom Lesson themes that are based on nature keep things fun and interesting. Nature-based case studies, models, or hands-on tasks added to the lessons make them more interesting and useful. Creating Inquiry Through Beauty Nursing students are more engaged and curious in an environment that is visually engaging. Students are inspired and motivated to actively participate in their education when they see beauty in the classroom. Bridging the Gap Between Education and Beauty In the holistic way of nursing education, both learning goals and beauty are important. This shows how important beauty is to the learning process. The students can see how important beauty is to their personal and social growth because of this link. Creating a Community of Support A comprehensive method helps nursing students feel like they are part of a group. When everyone in the classroom values the aesthetic aspects of learning, students feel valued and connected. This makes for a collaborative and supportive learning atmosphere. Taking care of any issues that may come up There are many good things about holistic techniques, but it's still important to think about what could go wrong. You should find the right balance between beauty and academic rigor so that beauty helps you learn instead of hurts it. One last thing is that including beauty in nursing education makes it more fun and gives students a chance to make their lives better. They can do their jobs better and stronger if they know how the mind, body, and spirit are linked. By recognizing the value of beauty in learning, we give nursing students a chance to do well in college, in their personal lives, and in their careers. By ML staff. Images courtesy of Pexel.
