Research

FCNN is committed to fostering, supporting and generating faith community nursing research. We encourage DNP students to contact us with their ideas for community projects.

Research & Education Advisory Council

In 2009, the Board of Directors appointed the Research & Education Council to encourage, facilitate and produce research in faith community nursing and to provide expertise and guidance in the development and implementation of FCNNs educational programs. The Council Members serve as faculty representatives of the respective Schools of Nursing, working to develop partnerships with FCNN.
