Last week’s Christians in the Visual Arts (CIVA) Open House pointed out that while Madison is not of the same caliber as Wheaton or Colorado Springs, it is the home for a small but growing number of national Christian organizations. Another such organization is Nurses Christian Fellowship (NCF).
NCF is a part of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, and like InterVarsity has had its national office in Madison since 1969. However, in addition to student members, NCF also serves professional nurses. Through its national magazine, Journal of Christian Nursing, NCF offers professional development for both students and professionals. Recently the American Society of Healthcare Publication Editors (ASHPE) recognized JCN for the quality of its content and presentation.
May 6-12 is National Nurses Week, a good time to celebrate the critically important work done by nurses. One of the articles in the current issue of JCN does just that: JOY – Ten Minutes to Describe the Essence of Christian Nursing.
