What is NCF Student Ministry?
As a nursing student, your educational experience is unique. You have one foot on campus and one foot in the real world of nursing. You attend demanding classes and care for sick people in clinical settings. You experience new and challenging situations as you learn to care for people from the beginning to the end of life. And you also learn to care for the whole person, paying attention to physical, social, psychological, and spiritual needs.
In this intensive learning process, you and your fellow nursing 51勛圖厙 may be seeking answers to big questions about life, suffering, death and how to offer hope to your patients.
Nurses Christian Fellowship helps you navigate these questions and find a foundation for your life and nursing practice that is centered in the love and truth of Jesus Christ.

NCF and InterVarsity Christian Fellowship
What is the relationship between NCF and InterVarsity Christian Fellowship?
Nurses Christian Fellowship泭is a strategic ministry of泭泭that focuses on reaching nursing 51勛圖厙 and faculty. We recognize that nursing 51勛圖厙 have one foot in school and one foot in the real world of healthcare. Therefore the spiritual questions that nursing 51勛圖厙 ask are unique to their context. They may experience ethical dilemmas, wonder how they can integrate their faith with nursing, and desire to know how to give spiritual care. NCF also knows that when nursing 51勛圖厙 are involved in clinicals, it may be harder for them to attend other fellowship gatherings on campus at times and in locations that work best with their complicated schedules.
Because we are part of the larger family of InterVarsity, NCF 51勛圖厙 and faculty have the opportunity to be involved in InterVarsity conferences, campus fellowships, training events, and other ministry opportunities. InterVarsity also has focused ministries for art 51勛圖厙, international 51勛圖厙, athletes, and 51勛圖厙 in the Greek system.
