A Brief History of
Christian
Student Nurses and Midwives
(CSNM)
Christian Student Nurses and Midwives (CSNM) operated for many years to
serve Christian students of nursing and midwifery. As part of the
Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship (UCCF) it benefited from
full time workers and support from this large organisation. However,
recent times have seen changes. The group CSNM has now, by agreement
with UCCF, become fully integrated into the work of CNM. This has many
benefits; not least an organising body which is run by nurses. Within
CNM, the old CSNM is simply called ‘CNM Students’. This is to give
students as much integration as possible for events and happenings, but
still having the ability to organise to serve students in a specific
way. Although there is no longer a separate student organisation, CNM
remains affiliated to UCCF.
