EDUCATION
Christian Science Nursing
Christian Science nursing is a healing ministry based on the Bible and the teachings of Christian Science as found in the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. It is a Manual-based activity.
Christian Science Nurse. Sect. 31. A member of The Mother Church who represents himself or herself as a Christian Science nurse shall be one who has a demonstrable knowledge of Christian Science practice, who thoroughly understands the practical wisdom necessary in a sick room, and who can take proper care of the sick. The cards of such persons may be inserted in The Christian Science Journal under rules established by the publishers. (Man, p. 49).
Christian Science Nurses Education with Le Verger
Le Verger cannot accept candidates for in-house Christian Science nursing education or employment in Switzerland for anyone who does not hold a Swiss or European Union passport.

Our program begins with providing each candidate with an introduction through our Spiritual Dimension of Care seminar. The seminar explains Christian Science nursing as a Manual-based activity grounded in the Bible and the theology of Christian Science as taught by Mary Baker Eddy.
