Arden
Wood first opened its doors in 1930 as a healing sanatorium
for patients needing Christian Science nursing care and for nurses
training. Today, Christian Science nursing remains at the core
of Arden Wood’s purpose. Individuals who wish to rely solely on
Christian Science for healing can be tenderly cared for and
supported by qualified Christian Science nurses in an atmosphere
conducive to healing and spiritual growth.
A Christian Science nurse is first and foremost a Christian
Scientist—one who has chosen the healing ministry of Christian
Science nursing as a career. A Christian Science nurse is motivated
by the earnest desire to serve God and man by living the requirements
set forth in the Manual By-Law, “Christian Science Nurse” (Art.
VIII, Sect. 31),
which states: “A member of The Mother Church who represents himself
or herself as a
Christian Science nurse shall be one who has a demonstrable knowledge
of Christian
Science practice, who thoroughly understands the practical wisdom necessary
in a
sickroom, and who can take proper care of the sick.”
