The Parish Nurse can be a valuable resource to a congregation as he/she assists with both physical and spiritual needs. As a registered nurse and a parish nurse, a person has the capability to effectively and intentionally create a Care Ministry for a congregation that meets medical needs but also has the added benefit of spiritual care as well. These resources give a broad scope of the opportunities for parish nurses to serve. Parish nurses searching for resources beneficial to their work, as well as congregations wishing to acquire a parish nurse, or put together their own Care Ministry and team may use the resources collected below.
