1. What stub did you choose? Why did you choose this one? Copy and past the URL link into your Sandbox.
I chose this article because I have a significant interest in the combination of eastern and western medicine. I believe there are a multitude of alternative ways to help people other than pill popping. Unfortunately, most people in society want a quick fix and practitioners don't have the time to dedicate to offering these alternatives. The link to this article is posted above.
2. How do you know that it's a stub: Identify where on the page that you know that this is a stub
It clearly states at the bottom of the article that it is a stub.
This nursing-related article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.
3. What are some missing or under-developed parts of this stub? A good way to determine this is to compare your stub to a more developed article on the same topic and category. So for example, if you chose a stub-article on a horror novel, look for another Wikipedia article on another horror novel that is more fully developed. What is missing on your stub page in comparison? You should devote 4-5 sentences to answering this question.
Overall, this article provides a good introduction to the topic of Holistic Nursing. It briefly touches on many important topics but does not provide enough detail. Many of the references are good and seem reputable. It does not offer enough specifics related to comparisons to regular nursing. Other articles provide better definitions of many types of nursing and then provide more in-depth conversation on holistic nursing.
4. In particular, locate the "References" section of the stub. What, if anything, is listed in the references? If the references are hyperlinked, do the links still work?
There are many links and references embedded in this article. They are still active and comprised of journals, other stubs and other articles. Many still need work but there are also a good amount of reliable sources cited.
5. And, when you compare this stub to a well developed article of the same category type, what sections of the overall article are present, and what are missing?
The stub article itself somewhat answers this question. It states there are multiple in text citations missing and has questionable sources. The article briefly touches on the topics but is not as well developed as some others.

There are several Libguides that lead to a vast array of publications. I found this article in PubMed particularly interesting and could have some potential information worth sharing to the stub article, Holistic Nursing. One downfall of this article is it is basically an interview that shows obvious bias. But I think it is worthy of further review as it provides a little different angle on the topic.
Holistic Leadership-Nursing's Unique Contribution to Healthcare. Clarke, Pamela, Bleich, Michael, PubMed, March 23, 2018
The main thing that stands out to me as missing in this stub is some factual, statistical data of what alternative options has done. For example, data is needed to show maybe how many people successfully got off their prescription antidepressants and are now successfully being treated with things like yoga, meditation, essential oils, etc. We need to cite some numbers and facts that have been studied and published to support the entire idea. I am still searching for literature to support this.

added another article: Complementary Health Practitioners in the Acute and Critical Care setting: Nursing Considerations. Kramlich, Debra. Critical Care Nurse. Jun2017, Vol. 37 Issue 3, p60-65. 6p. 2 Charts. DOI: 10.4037/ccn2017181.
Science based care meets Holistic Care
In the PubMed journal, Dr. Pamela Clarke and Dr. Michael Bleich share their dialogue on the ever changing healthcare environment and nursing's contribution to that. [1]. This interview offers explanation of how nurses are viewed and what expectations they have as a profession and from society. "As a discipline, nursing makes bold claims to be the profession that cares for individuals in the context of the family and in the context of community".[2] This is a powerful statement. Nursing as a profession has grown and evolved over the years. Many now see that nurses do not just do what doctors tell them. They are the eyes, ears, touch and communicators of problems to the physicians. They are the ones at the bedside of the patient for 12 or more hours every day. Nurses don't just follow orders and apply bandaids, they care for the entire patient, the entire being, inside and out. Nursing is bold—the interface between the world of medicine as a discipline, with its arsenal of diagnostic tools and interventional strategies. Nurses possess similar diagnostic and treatment knowledge but go beyond the medical model with strong beliefs that address health promotion and prevention, disease management/abatement, and concern for quality-of-life strategies through to death.[3]
Society today has an increasing interest in alternative and preventative care. Things like yoga, meditation, massage, essential oils, accupuncture, pet therapy, and many other things are gaining a significant presence. Often times, these practices were viewed as hippy or witchcraft. Today, they are the most commonly used forms of complementary health approaches (CHAs) among adults and children in the United States. [4] This provides and exciting time for nurses and patients. According to the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses Synergy Model,26 acute and critical care nurses must act as patient advocates while promoting comfort and healing. [4]
