Download or read book Church Nurse written by Juanita Crawford and published by Asa Publishing Corporation. This book was released on 2018-05-16 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a great need for church nurses to render services in their assembly and community in the Name of the Lord; God wants us to love and serve Him as well as others. For "What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefit toward me?" (Psalm 116:12) Enclosed in this book is significant information concerning the gift of church nursing (for those implementing a nurse's guild or working on a nurse's guild) from the perspective of the author who has been a church nurse for over 30 years and a professional nurse for 27.5 years. The author contends as faithful stewards of God's Grace, each of us should use our gifts granted to us from God, to serve Him and others (1 Peter 4:10; paraphrased). The text expounds on the development, the purpose, the duties, the skills, the regalia, the need, servicing the community, and much more concerning church nursing. An intercessory prayer of the author is that God continue to bless church nurses all around the world as they serve in their assemblies, and that they continue to ." . . serve one another humbly in love" (Galatians 5:13).
Download or read book Parish Nursing written by Verna Carson and published by Templeton Foundation Press. This book was released on 2002-05-01 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parish Nursing presents a vision where nurses can serve as the vital link between secular healthcare and sacred faith-based systems. Nurses are able to provide direct ministry to members of the congregation and also can be the communicators, teachers, motivators, and encouragers of others. The parish nurse could be a key person to link the two systems and provide truly wholistic care. Reading the stories of parish nurses gives us hope that this vision might be possible—indeed must be possible—if our aging society is to flourish in the years ahead.

Book Synopsis Faith and Health by : Lynda W. Miller
Download or read book Faith and Health written by Lynda W. Miller and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a response to a need. Christian nurses, in a wide range of settings, perform their work based on beliefs drawn from their faith, but until now they've had no specifically Christian theoretical foundation to help them. Nurses working in the emerging field of "Parish Nursing" in particular need a framework that helps them explicitly link the tenets of faith and concepts of health in their practice, education, and research. Nurses of other faiths may also find the framework useful in seeing a way to relate their own beliefs and values to their nursing. In the book's Introduction the author tells why she devoted her doctoral research to theory development and how she went about doing that. The body of the book describes her nursing conceptual framework in depth, yet in an informal "reader friendly" style. The concluding chapter answers the question "Now what?" and helps readers make practical applications in their everyday lives. The four major components of the Faith and Health Framework are presented in detail: Person/Parishioner, Health/Shalom-Wholeness, Nurse/Parish Nurse, and Community/Parish, with the integrating component The Triune God. Described under each component are two organizing concepts, which in turn contain other key concepts, such as: mission, ministry, compassion, competence and communion.Various perspectives on the Framework are depicted in several full-color stained glass figures and in an inspirational poem written by the author. There are extensive bibliographic references and quotations from The Holy Bible, throughout, plus Appendices of relevant materials and resources.

Book Synopsis Transforming Care by : Mary Molewyk Doornbos
Download or read book Transforming Care written by Mary Molewyk Doornbos and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2005-07-06 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursing involves skill, judgment, compassion, and respect for human life whether or not the nurse is a Christian. Is there anything distinctive, then, about Christian nurses? The authors of Transforming Care address the question of how Christian faith molds nursing practice. Suggesting that such faith entails something more essential than evangelism or a certain position on moral dilemmas, they deal with the ordinary, everyday nature of nursing practice. The first part of the book articulates the relationship between Christian faith and nursing practice while analyzing the concepts of nursing, person, environment, and health common to nursing literature. The second part describes and evaluates nursing practice in three different health care contexts: acute care settings, mental health facilities, and community care contexts. Sidebars throughout the book offer thought-provoking quotations from well-known authors and nursing experts. Contributors: Cheryl Brandsen Bart Cusveller Mary Molewyk Doornbos Mary Flikkema Ruth E. Groenhout Arlene Hoogewerf Kendra G. Hotz Clarence Joldersma Barbara Timmermans
Book Synopsis Rediscovering a Ministry of Health by : Helen A. Wordsworth
Download or read book Rediscovering a Ministry of Health written by Helen A. Wordsworth and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not possible to look at the ministry of Jesus without noticing his concern for the poor and the sick. He not only had a huge sense of compassion for people who were suffering, but sent people out to heal the sick and tell them the Kingdom of God is near them. This concern for health and wholeness has inspired Christians through the ages as they have cared for the sick, founded hospitals, and been at the forefront of public health movements. In the nineteenth century, the church was one of the major influencers in initiating ministries of health, both through the work of its own deaconesses and the involvement of its members as they felt a sense of vocation to nursing and public health work. Florence Nightingale was a theologian and statistician as well as being a nurse leader. However, with the advent of state health provision and private health insurance schemes, the role of the local church in health has diminished. This book describes a simple way for churches to re-engage with health ministry and presents evidence that underlines not only a Biblical authenticity for its place in the mission of a local church, but also a compelling rationale for its implementation. It will be of interest to church leaders and all those involved in health care.
