The Faith Community Nurses Association of Oklahoma provides support and resources for faith community nurses of all faiths to promote spiritual development and best practices.
What is Faith Community Nursing?
Faith Community Nursing is the intentional integration of the practice of faith with the practice of nursing so that people can achieve wholeness in, with, and through the community of faith in which Faith Community Nurses serve.
What is a Faith Community Nurse?
Faith Community Nursing is recognized by the American Nurses Association as a specialty practice area for registered nurses who have completed an endorsed training program.
In some communities, Faith Community Nurses are called ‘Congregational Health Nurses’. This is an independent nursing practice which has “intentional care of the spirit” as its function and does not involve ‘hands-on,’ task-oriented nursing care.
Faith Community Nurses can be found in congregations of every denomination and faith tradition in rural, urban and suburban settings. The nurse actively promotes wellness, wholeness, and preventive health.
Faith Community Nursing originated in Illinois during the 1980’s; over 10,000 Faith Community Nurses are a part of an international movement.
