Sacramento, CA
RN; MSN; Parish Nurse
I planned to become a nurse when I was in high school, took the
appropriate classes, and entered a hospital school of nursing upon
graduation. But that was 50 years ago. Now, a retired nursing
instructor and medical terminology teacher of over 25 years, I well
understand how much more knowledge and life experience potential
nurses need in order to complete a nursing education for today’s
vastly different medical care system. Having completed an educational program designed specifically
for parish nursing, I am now a parish nurse for my church. I
maintain office hours at the church two days a week, two hours each
day for anyone wanting weekly blood pressure checks, information on
medical problems, referrals to community resources, etc. I keep a
file card on each family I become involved with and add notes at
each contact so I have long term information on the family’s health
issues. All of my records are kept secured and all contacts are
confidential. I feel wonderfully blessed to have this ministry. I
love being a Parish Nurse.
