- Christian Science Nurse Notes

During any of my previous careers, my job was easy to explain in a jiffy: “I’m a chef” or “I’m a musician.”

But after I became a Christian Science nurse, I’d often take the proverbial deep breath before answering. I’d try to be clear in my explanations because outside of the members of my own church, many people haven’t heard of a Christian Science nurse.

The most basic way I describe my job is that I’m a nonmedical, spiritual, and physical caregiver for people who are relying exclusively on Christian Science prayer for healing during a health challenge. That’s still a mouthful, I know, but it only scratches the surface.
