Nurses are frequently facing the problems of the patients seen in ambulatory or admitted in hospital wards. They also have contacts with the associated sorrow of the relatives or accompanying persons. Therefore it is useful to have nurses trained according to the biopsychosocial medicine besides the usual professional training. Starting from this premises, we offered optional courses to nursing students at the faculty of medicine in Cluj-Napoca, in addition to courses on medical communication. Postgraduate courses on psychosomatic medicine were also organized. In the last two years, we accepted also nurses to a master degree program of 12 months on psychosomatic medicine. This program includes lectures and practical activity on psychosomatic medicine, psychoneuroimmunology, counseling and communication. We also elaborated a book in Romanian on "Psychosomatic Medicine for Nurses". In this review, we will share our experience during the EAPM 2014 meeting in Sibiu.
