Parish Nurse Education
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 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 and
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 and Georgia.
