What is a Faith Community Nurse?

Faith Community nurses are licensed, registered nurses who practice wholistic health for self, individuals and community using nursing knowledge combined with spiritual care. They function in paid and unpaid positions as members of a team. The focus of their work is on the intentional care of the spirit, assisting and leading organizations to maintain or gain wholeness in body, mind, and spirit.

To be a faith community nurse, one:

• must have an active registered nurse license in the state of practice or international equivalent
• should have completed an educational course to prepare for this ministry such as the foundations of faith community nursing
• should have specialized knowledge of the spiritual beliefs and practices of the faith community, organizations and communities served
• should reflect personal spirituality maturity in her/his practice
• should be organized, flexible, self-started, and a good communicator
