Parish Nurse:
A parish nurse is a registered nurse with
additional training, who provides healthcare to
the congregation of a church. A parish nurse is
more involved in preventative medicine than
treating the sick. The main duties of a parish
nurse include:
- Educating the congregation on healthy living
- Assisting parishioners with their health
problems
- Counseling individuals on various issues
- Supporting health services within the
community
- Referring patients to other healthcare
professionals when necessary
- Providing an approachable listening ear to
people of all ages
- Offering advice to individuals in a spiritual
environment
- Providing initial contact for individuals
suffering as a result of substance abuse,
depression and family violence
Where they work:
Parish Nurses can work in the church or
community centers. Some large churches employ a
full time parish nurse. Other small parishes
share a parish nurse between them.
Qualifications:
Parish nurses are fully qualified registered
nurses, and are recognized by the American
Nursing Association. Most Parish Nurses have
several years experience working in a healthcare
environment. There are many programs available
to qualify as a Parish Nurse. Many ministries
also require previous experience in a community
care environment.
