Parish Nursing: Development, Education, and Administration

Parish Nursing: Development, Education, and Administration I have found this book very informative and continue to read from it as am able.

The Must Have Text for Every Parish Nurse

This updated version of an earlier work on Parish Nursing is a comprehensive and invaluable overview of Parish Nursing as it was, and as it is today. Parish Nursing began as a movement under the encouragement of Granger Westburg and his work in whole person health. It now recognized by the American Nurses Association as a speciality practice within nursing, and has spread throughout the USA and other countries. This book is rich in resources and is required reading for any congregation or institution wanting to learn how to get started in developing a Health Ministry.
