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.
Christian Science nursing 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 49:6-17)
