What is Christian Science Nursing?

Christian Science nurses provide skilled, practical care that is grounded in the spiritual healing method of Christian Science discovered by Mary Baker Eddy in 1866. The Christian Science nurse’s standard of care rests squarely on the Bible, especially the Ten Commandments, the teachings of Christ Jesus, and the writings of Mary Baker Eddy.

What is Christian Science Nurses training?

Courses are usually divided into two parts, a classroom portion and a mentored training portion where the student works alongside nurses and has direct contact with patients. You can find out more information from the Association of Organizations for Christian Science Nursing.
