Lee Memorial Health System Parish Nurse Program has
a “Curriculum Agreement” with the International Parish Nurse
Resource Center making us an Education Partner. Through this
agreement we can offer the Basic Parish Nurse Preparation Course and
the Parish Nurse Coordinator/ Manager Preparation Course that was
developed by the IPNRC.
The content of this curriculum is core to the educational
preparation of Parish Nurses. It focuses on the concepts of
spiritual formation, professionalism, leadership and community. It
also emphasizes theological concepts to reclaim the spiritual
dimension of nursing.
Participants attending this course will be able to:
- Embrace the integration of faith and health as central to the
parish nurse role.
- Demonstrate knowledge, attitude and skills to practice as a
beginning parish nurse.
- Value an inter-collegial peer system of support.
- Identify a network for continuing development and support.
- Commit to continued spiritual formation to more effectively
understand and carry out the parish nurse role.
Since October 2000 we have offered this course annually at a
beautiful retreat center in Venice, Florida. The RN’s who took our
course are now serving as Parish Nurses in their home states of
Florida, Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina, Maine, Virginia,
Washington, & Georgia.
