The spiritual dimension of health care is central to the practice of parish nursing.Both nursing functions and pastoral care functions are performed by parish nurses,whose visits often involve prayer and reference to scripture,symbols,sacraments,and liturgy of the faith community.Advanced nursing practice is not required for a parish nurse,so this would not suggest that the nurse was a parish nurse.All nurses should demonstrate compassionate,skilled,and dedicated touch; thus,this would not be specific to the role of the parish nurse.Nurses should be willing to complete tasks that are within the scope of their practice,and this does not specifically describe what that scope of practice would be for a parish nurse.
