Parish nursing (now faith community nursing) is a growing specialty practice of nursing, recognized by the American Nursing Association. Any registered nurse that is a member of a congregation and has completed a parish nurse training program may serve as a parish nurse.
Most parish nurses have had several years of nursing experience in hospital-based or community-based settings.
