Faith Community Nursing Collections
Did you know there is a collection of faith community nursing articles, along with a collection of health ministry articles, at http://www.journalofchristiannursing.com? The Journal of Christian Nursing publishes about faith community nursing in every issue, including American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) approved continuing education articles just for FCNs. Although JCN has been publishing about parish/faith community nursing since 1984, the collections contain more than 70 recent articles, with new articles added in each issue. Check out the FCN and Health Ministry collections under "Collections" on the JCN website. Nurses Christian Fellowship members receive a 30% discount on CE at Nursing Center. Not an NCF Member?

Urbana 15
Are you a college student wondering about how God wants to use you? Join over 16,000 other students from December 27 to 31, 2015, in St. Louis at The America's Center to delve deeply into the Bible and explore how you can join in God's global mission. Dr. Patrick Fung, the first Asian director of OMF International, will serve as Bible expositor for the conference.
Since 1946, nearly 300,000 people have come to Urbana's 23 conferences. These people have then gone to the ends of the earth, sharing the great news of Jesus Christ and his kingdom with millions of others.
