If you have been praying for a fuller expression of purpose and direction, one that supports the healing mission of Christian Science, you may wish to consider Christian Science nursing as your future career. The expression of Christian Science nursing begins within individual consciousness of the Christ. The student’s growth in spiritual self-knowledge, along with a deep sense of humility and love, strengthens his or her ability to discern the needs of others and to respond with care that is appropriate, wise, and compassionate.
Wide Horizon’s Christian Science Nursing Training Program nurtures these qualities with a course of study rooted in Mary Baker Eddy’s Church Manual by-law, Christian Science Nurse. Our instructor is an experienced Journal-listed Christian Science nurse, who has the special talents and skills necessary for this specialized art of instruction. The growth and progress of each student is supported through teaching, nurturing, and mentoring to promote each student’s growth as a Christian Science nurse.
Wide Horizon’s Christian Science nursing classes are available to Mother Church members who have had or plan to take class instruction by an authorized teacher of Christian Science and have a “demonstrable knowledge of Christian Science practice” (see Article VIII, Section 31, Manual of The Mother Church).
Currently we offer all four levels of Christian Science Nursing Training, including both classroom training and mentoring. Courses are scheduled during the year as prospective students and Wide Horizon’s need for Christian Science nurses correspond.
Financial Aid
Financial Aid for Christian Science nursing programs is available at the Albert Baker Fund.
Is Christian Science nursing calling you?
A Christian Scientist had felt God impelling her to undertake Christian Science nurses training. Yet after she had the training, her family schedule left little room for her to fulfill this calling by assisting those who were in need Christian Science nursing care. One day she stopped everything to pray about this and listen for what God was directing her to do. Just as she was praying, the phone rang. It was a Christian Scientist who was staying up in the mountains about an hour away.
She had called a Christian Science nursing facility to see if a Christian Science nurse could come to her house, and the facility had given her the young woman’s number. The newly minted Christian Science nurse said she would be happy to come, but unfortunately was only available from 11 pm until 7 am. The woman on the phone exclaimed, “That’s exactly when I need you!” God had perfectly brought together supply and demand as one idea — and the caller, the person at the facility, and the new nurse were all listening to His direction for mutual blessing.
