WHAT: This special event is a combined retreat and journal club, designed to encourage and refresh students, nurses, and educators as we explore healing encounters with Jesus. Being aware of biblical perspectives on health and healing is important for nurses as they care for patients and families who may ask about supernatural healing and/or Christian healing prayer.
