Course modules include spiritual care; prayer; self-care; healing and wholeness; ethics; documenting practices; legal aspects; communication and collaboration; family violence; suffering, grief, and loss; advocacy; care coordination; and more.
The hybrid course offers online modules and classroom presentations taught by faith community nurse educators and subject matter experts in the respective fields of practice. Upon successful completion of the five-day course, registered nurses are commissioned as faith community nurses and receive 38 contact hours; non-RNs completing the course are commissioned as health ministers. Those who complete the course will receive a pin as either a faith community nurse or health minister.
The cost is $395 for registered nurses (RNs), and includes course materials and 38 nursing contact hours. For non-RNs, the cost is $200. Free parking is available in the hospital parking garage.
The course is limited to the first 20 participants who register. Limited partial scholarship funds are available; inquire on the registration form.
