NZ Faith Community Nursing Association Conference 2014

August 2014

News

New Zealand Faith Community Nursing Association (NZFCNA) is a national Christian organisation that equips nurses to serve in their communities. NZFCNA is holding its 2014 conference, ‘Sustainability of Practice’, in Wellington, 11–13 September, at Wellington Cathedral of St Paul’s Loaves and Fishes Cafe. Registration after 1 August is $200. Contact the National Administrator for a registration form.

A conference scholarship is available for application from those who have an interest in Faith Community Nursing but have no experience.

Christian nurses are in a unique and privileged position as they are bilingual in faith and health. As nursing professionals they can serve an important role in the community, promoting health and wellbeing through education, advocacy and care management as well as providing pastoral support through a church fellowship.

Whether it is guiding someone through the healthcare system, or sharing their journey of faith, Faith Community Nurses are passionate about providing holistic healthcare.
