Any
Registered Nurse with a current license who embraces the concept
that spiritual care is an important part of a person's wellness
can serve as a Parish Nurse. Licensed Practical Nurses may serve
as Parish Nurses under the direction of a Registered Nurse. They
receive special training in the relationship between faith and health.
Parish Nurses are usually volunteers in a church or
synagogue, but some are members of a paid church staff. All work
closely with the pastoral staff and under the general direction
of a congregational Health Council.
