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.
