$2024 Foundations of Faith Community Nursing\/Health Ministry Course (6 days)$

Join us to learn more about faith community nursing - a nationally recognized nursing practice specialty - and health ministry.
About this Event

A Faith Community Nurse is not simply a registered nurse who happens to be a member of a faith community. Faith Community Nursing is a nationally recognized nursing practice specialty. The Foundations of Faith Community Nursing Course prepares nurses to stand in the gap; to bridge the health care system and faith community. Faith Community Nurses and Health Ministers work together to open the door for important conversations about health and wellness of the mind, body, and spirit and provide additional caring connection and support for faith community members facing today’s many challenges.

Faith Community Health Network is partnering to offer the Foundations for Faith Community Nursing Course for licensed registered nurses (RNs) and a parallel Foundations for Health Ministry course for nurses with inactive licenses and faith community lay members who desire to work in health ministry. The course is six sessions held on Zoom from 8am – 5pm on the following Mondays and Tuesdays: November 11 -12, 2024, November 18, 2024, November 25, 2024, and December 2-3, 2024. Cost for the six days of training is $325 for out-of-area residents. Contact [email protected] for a discount promo code if you live in Linn, Benton, or Lincoln Counties in Oregon. Course cost includes four books and we will be applying for 40+ continuing education contact hours. We will host an in-person reception from 2pm-4pm on December 8, 2024 for those who can attend. This course is open to - and welcomes - all faith traditions.
