For Christian Science nurses who come to the BA to take a CSNA classroom portion only: the cost of the classroom portion is the full tuition cost ($550 per week) as listed on the course schedule; this cost remains the same whether or not the mentored instruction portion is completed at the BA or at another Christian Science nursing facility.
For Christian Science nurses who are employed at the BA: the BA offers an employee benefit of classroom and mentored instruction in the Christian Science Nursing Arts. As Christian Science nurses continue with their employment at the BA, further resources for financial assistance may be available.
Cost of mentored instruction
The length of the mentored instruction period may vary according to the needs of the individual Christian Science nurse and is based on the individual’s readiness for the next level of classroom training and his/her demonstrated ability to apply what is learned.
The cost of instruction given during the mentored portion of the course is determined by each individual training site.
To take part in the on-the-job training period at the BA, Christian Science nurses must be accepted as BA employees. At the BA, instruction given during the mentored portion of the course is given as an employee benefit. This information sheet is accurate as of May 11, 2011.
