That\u2019s good.<\/p>\n<p><strong>POTTER<\/strong>: It&#8217;s a regular event organized and run by Diane Tieman, a registered nurse who&#8217;s on the church staff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TIEMAN<\/strong>:  I do health education classes. I do blood pressure screenings. I take calls from people that want information about the health care system, about themselves and their health concerns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>POTTER<\/strong>: And she does a lot more. Home visits are an essential part of Tieman&#8217;s job as a parish or faith community nurse, helping church members, many of  whom are elderly, prepare for doctor visits and surgeries.<\/p>\n<p>Tieman: Let&#8217;s just listen to your heart.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/files\/2012\/04\/post01-parishnursing.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10737\" \/><strong>POTTER<\/strong>: Parish nurses are health counselors and advocates. They do not provide treatment. But there&#8217;s more to the job than checking vital signs, reviewing medications, and helping people navigate the health care system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TIEMAN<\/strong>: People just need to be heard and need to be listened to, and as a parish nurse that\u2019s one of the greatest things that we do is be present and just listen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BOB FORREST<\/strong>: Diane\u2019s been a gem. If she doesn\u2019t make it to heaven, nobody will. She\u2019s been great.<\/p>\n<p><strong>POTTER<\/strong>:  Parish nursing is one of the fastest growing specialty practices recognized by the American Nurses Association. Registered nurses with at least two years&#8217; experience are certified after receiving additional training on how to care for the whole person\u2014not  just physically, but spiritually.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TIEMAN<\/strong>: It\u2019s a matter of being an integrator of health and faith, and for us as parish nurses  we really believe in that spiritual component, how important that is to an individual. And I know when I work with individuals many a-times if spiritually they\u2019re not well, it\u2019s very difficult for them to become physically well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>POTTER<\/strong>: Parish nurses also serve as lay ministers bringing prayers and sometimes communion to the people they visit.<\/p>\n<p>Irene: I would have been lost without you. You kept me all in one piece, you know what I mean?<\/p>\n<p><strong>POTTER<\/strong>:  Parish nursing traces its roots back to the 1800s, when religious orders in the U.S. and Europe offered care to the wider community. The modern program was launched 25 years ago by a Lutheran pastor here in Chicago, and it&#8217;s since spread around the world. Some 15,000 parish nurses are now at work in the United States alone.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/files\/2012\/04\/post02-parishnursing.jpg\" alt=\"Maureen Daniels\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10738\" \/><strong>MAUREEN DANIELS<\/strong> (International Parish Nurse Resource Center): It started out Christian, but actually we have a lot of Jewish faith community nurses. We have some Muslim\u2014our Crescent nurses, and we also have some that are working in Buddhist communities, Hindu, and others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>POTTER<\/strong>:  Maureen Daniels, herself a former parish nurse, now trains nurses to work in faith communities, looking after the whole person.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DANIELS<\/strong>: We\u2019re not just our heart or our liver or our kidneys, you know. We have\u2014there\u2019s the person that\u2019s there, and part of being a person is that whole dimension of spirit that makes us who we are. And you can\u2019t break it down into pieces the way we\u2019ve been doing, you know. It really needs to be, you know, who is this whole person? What is their life about?<\/p>\n<p><strong>DONNA SMITH-PUPILLO<\/strong>: Come in Susan, have a seat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>POTTER<\/strong>: Donna Smith-Pupillo coordinates a network of parish nurses in and around St. Louis. Some work mostly with the poor and uninsured or with young families. But they all share the same sense of purpose.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DONNA  SMITH-PUPILLO<\/strong> (Deaconess Parish Nurse Ministry Network): Parish nursing is about the intentional care of the spirit and bringing back in for all of us a sense of wholeness that embraces both the mind, the body, and the spirit and that it\u2019s doable for almost all congregations, synagogues, and mosques. It is doable. It\u2019s not something that has to be  paid. You can use volunteers. You can find someone who\u2019s interested and  wants to serve.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/files\/2012\/04\/post03-parishnursing.jpg\" alt=\"Diane Tieman\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-10739\" \/><strong>POTTER<\/strong>: Most parish nurses, in fact, are unpaid and work part-time. Some, like Diane Tieman, are paid partly by a  church and partly by a hospital, where they also serve. On this day,  Tieman has brought a hospitalized parishioner a handmade shawl.<\/p>\n<p>Tieman (speaking to patient): It is filled with prayers, and this one was actually made by Jerri.<\/p>\n<p>Patient: Thank Jerri for me.<\/p>\n<p>Tieman: I will.<\/p>\n<p><strong>POTTER<\/strong>: There are some things a parish nurse can&#8217;t do, like administer medications or give injections. But they can offer programs other nurses don&#8217;t, like the Queen of the Rosary knitting group that makes the shawls\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Knitting Group: Dear Lord, bless my hands&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>POTTER<\/strong>:  \u2026and prays for those who will receive them. Tieman also works with  other faith communities setting up events like this labyrinth walk at a nearby Methodist church.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TIEMAN<\/strong>: I really feel like when  people walk the labyrinth it\u2019s a mind, body, and spirit experience  because it not only makes you relaxed and stress relieved, but for those who regard it as a spiritual tool it really helps you to build your  relationship with God.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/files\/2012\/04\/post04-parishnursing.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-10740\" \/><strong>POTTER<\/strong>: Tieman is not a member of  the Catholic church where she works, although some parishes nurses are.  Either way, experts say, the best predictor of success is the strong  support of the pastor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FATHER ED PERINE<\/strong>: I can\u2019t be there for all those people all the time, and so she fills in, and  parishioners fill in doing that. And she also keeps me apprised when there\u2019s a special need, or somebody requests to see me, or someone is  dying\u2014that I can go and see them. I don\u2019t know what we would do without Diane.<\/p>\n<p><strong>POTTER<\/strong>: Many parish nurses see their work as more of a calling than a job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TIEMAN<\/strong>: For me it is. Yeah, it is. I feel blessed and really humble, because for me in this job it really has increased my own faith as I work with people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LINDA LANTZ<\/strong>: She knows where I\u2019ve come from. We\u2019ve been prayer partners a long time. Without it, I don\u2019t think I would survive.<\/p>\n<p>(Praying): Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>POTTER<\/strong>: Parish nursing can be demanding and stressful, like any other kind of nursing, but it has its own rewards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TIEMAN<\/strong>:  When I\u2019m with somebody and look at them face-to-face or meet them  heart-to-heart, I feel like it\u2019s like meeting God head on and looking in his eyes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>POTTER<\/strong>: In Elk Grove, Illinois, I&#8217;m Deborah Potter for Religion &amp;
