Most healthcare systems, practitioners, and clinics are not up-to-date when it comes to pain science.  Unfortunately, the few that do have an understanding tend to try and overcomplicate what is already a complicated process.

However, pain science can be approachable, understandable, and useful.  It can also, quite literally, transform your practice.  In the past, though, to reach that level required hours and hours of reading and dissecting the science.  Then, if you were lucky, you’d stumble into a few techniques or strategies that were helpful (but never clear why).

It doesn’t need to be this way.

This session presents a pain conceptual model that simplifies how to understand and apply modern pain science in clinical practice using a conceptual model that makes sense of pain (including all those previous scenarios when it didn’t).

Join us to learn how to apply the new Pain Science to our Faith Community Nursing Practice.

ANCC approval pending.   FCNs have an opportunity to care for diverse populations.  Research shows that the LGBTQ+ community has been stigmatized and denied access to health care.  How can we, as FCNs, provide the information and spiritual care for this population?  This symposium will help.

Registered nurses of all faiths are able to earn 36.5 CE hrs while attending the Carle Foundations of Faith Community Nursing training course.  Faith Community Nurses draw a closer link between their faith and healthcare communities by acting as health educators and counselors to faith community members, assisting with the homebound, nursing home, and hospitalized congregation members. Through this nondenominational program, participating registered nurses receive continuing education hours, as well as the support and resources necessary to implement a Faith Community Nursing program in their own congregation.
