Elaine
I belong to PNA because I believe in the values of the organization and have seen the benefit to churches who endorse this type of ministry in their congregations.
Kathy
I belong to PNA because the role of parish nursing is not well understood by most people in the province. This Association, as a special interest group under the Alberta Association of Nurses (AAN), brings legitimacy to the role and support to parish nurses and others supportive of this unique role.
Janelda
I am a Parish Nurse because I consider it a privilege to walk alongside those within both our church and greater community. Many individuals in our society today are lonely, depressed, and grieving. It is a blessing to be the hands, feet, eyes and ears of Jesus, through the lens of nursing.
Karla
I belong to Parish Nursing Alberta because I want to collaborate with other parish nurses in the area and province, to be encouraged in my spiritual faith and be empowered on how I can use my faith in my own faith community to learn how to serve others. I want to meet others and feel connected to other nurses. I want to know how to advance the Parish nursing specialty and encourage other nurses to become parish nurses as well.
Helle
I belong to Parish Nursing Alberta as I cherish getting together with nurses who truly believe that spirituality is an integral aspect of health and well being.
Nicole
I belong to Parish Nursing Alberta because there I receive mentorship and encouragement from nurses who are interested in supporting the holistic needs of people within their faith-communities.
Betty
I belong to Parish Nursing Alberta because it is a group of like-minded nurses who have a common desire to share their faith as they care and connect with those in their faith community and with those whose paths they cross. I appreciate the supportive network it provides as sometimes you may be ministering in a more “solo” position in your parish nursing role. My fellow Parish Nurses are only a phone call or text away when I am seeking wisdom and advice.
