* What Every Christian Scientist Should Know About Christian Science Nursing
A student can come to Glenmont for 3-4 weeks of classroom work or apply to take the full course, including mentoring and on the job education. Acceptance into the classroom portions of a course does not guarantee acceptance into the mentoring portion or imply a post-class contract for employment at Glenmont.
The Christly purity of a Christian Science nurse’s thought allows him or her to bear true witness to the patient’s spiritual individuality. This witnessing is a key element in Christian Science healing. Through the clear lens of a consecrated nurse’s thought, the light of Christ can enter the sickroom as spontaneously as light passing through a window pane (see Science and Health, p. 295).
