The Faith Community Nurse Network provides at least four professional nursing education symposiums each year for contact hour credit. These programs feature perspectives specific to FCN practice and provide attendees the opportunity to learn, share, and network. In 2025, we will offer a mix of virtual as well as hybrid events. Events will be recorded and distributed to those registered.
