We Want to Hear From You

The Westberg Institute for Faith Community Nursing Foundations curriculum revision team is seeking comment about the 2019 Foundations of Faith Community Nursing curriculum.

If you are an FCN educator, FCN coordinator, and especially a faith community nurse regardless of your work setting we want to hear from you! As you look at the list of curriculum modules below, please consider what issues and aspects of practice are the most important for new FCN's to receive information about.

If you attended or taught a course using the 2019 Foundations curriculum, what aspects did you like about it? Was there anything missing that you needed to know to begin your practice? What suggestions do you have as the 2024 Foundations of Faith Community Nursing Curriculum is being created?
