Tying it all together and moving forward: A forum to explore faith community nursing in professional practice
2025-11-24 10:30 - 13:00
Platform: Zoom
Using the evidence-based 2024 Westberg Institute Foundations of Faith Community Nursing curriculum, this facilitated forum will engage Faith Community Nurse attendees in discussion to amplify practical actions necessary to develop a sustainable faith community nursing practice. Attendees will have an opportunity to create SMARTIE goals and review policy and procedure templates with input from seasoned peers. Professional involvement in policymaking and advocacy at the local, state, and national level will be discussed. This forum will create valuable networking opportunities for faith community nurses who want to reenergize their practice as well as those starting out.

Outcome 1: Summarize start-up considerations for launching a faith community nursing practice.
Outcome 2: Describe two strategies for local FCN practice sustainability.
Outcome 3: Discuss how professional involvement and continuous improvement at the national level contributes to professional practice.

This nursing continuing professional development activity was approved by Oregon Nurses Association, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation. An evaluation is required for successful course completion. Due to ANCC requirements, students must attend the entire session. Because of the highly interactive nature of the forum, we cannot excuse students except in the case of emergencies (illness, attendance at funerals for next of kin). In those cases, we will allow a student to miss no more than ten minutes. A course completion certificate cannot be granted unless the RN student meets these attendance requirements.
