What is The Green Nurse?

The Green Nurse is an organization of holistic cannabis nurses who seek to relieve the suffering via safe use of medical cannabis and natural alternative therapies. We are a whole home health consulting agency that serves as liaison between patients and the medical cannabis community.

The Green Nurse is a holistic cannabis nurse navigator who focuses on Bio-Psycho-Social-Spiritual aspects of healing using a total health care approach to empower patients to make choices to live their best life. We recognize nursing as the most compassionate of professions and understand all patients are unique, thus requiring diverse approaches to care. The Green Nurses teach on the endocannabinoid system (ECS), cannabinoid therapeutics and other wellness activities to support the ECS to manage symptoms for overall health and wellness.
