General Information for Authors

The Journal of Christian Nursing (JCN), a publication of Nurses Christian Fellowship produced in partnership with Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, is a quarterly, professional journal by and for nurses. JCN strives to help nurses view nursing through the eyes of faith; its mission is to help nurses and nursing students practice nursing from a biblically-based, Christian perspective.

Topics covered include:

*Stories of nurses who have stepped out in faith to care for others in new or unusual ways in the U.S. or overseas.
**Patient/client experiences which promote excellence in nursing or include a faith dimension.

Priority will be given to nurse authors, although articles by non-nurses will be considered.
