Gemma Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I'm populating a new vocations list for the US based on nursing orders, and would appreciate some help. Http://cloisters.tripod.com/us_nursing/ With the economy being so bad, more ppl are turning to the nursing orders, but they're merging health systems and congregations with tremendous rapidity these days. Great demand; few workers. Many of the congs say their constitutions permit "clothing appropriate to the ministry" which can include a habit. I plan another list for the teaching orders.

HopefulBride Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Dominican Sisters of the Immaculate Conception, they are originally from Poland and are teachers. However, both US locations have nursing homes and a lot of the sisters are nurses. They run the homes and are very faith to the Church.Forgot the web address: http://sistersop.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly New England. I have been in touch with them. Just as I had suspected, the needs have grown, but the membership hasn't. The needs will be growing even more if the US healthcare law is actually implemented. Loreto Sisters--you're talking about the Bar Convent sisters? The Jesuitesses of Mary Ward? Not the Sisters of Loretto known as Lorettines (although they do nursing, too, come to think of it). Blessings, Gemma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andibc Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Are there any orders that focus more on pediatrics? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemma Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Now, I am needing "Health Care Systems". For instance, I never knew that there was a Benedictine Health Care System in Minnesota. Blessings, Gemma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Perhaps those communities who run orphanages? Or, if you go in with a pediatric nursing specialty, they would assign you to pediatrics.
