# 8 - Beyond Chaplains: Faith-Based Nursing
Pam Strayer, NursingLink
If faith is a sustaining and central part of your life, consider parish nursing. While once only chaplains provided spiritual counseling to the ill, now nurses can deliver both practical and spiritual care. Parish nurses visit and treat sick patients as well as pray with them, integrating treatment in healing and spirituality.
Sample job description: “Christian, wellness centered, body-mind-spirit opportunity…function autonomously within the congregation to promote wellness…”

This is definitely something I intend to incorporate in my practice as a nurse. I intend to go on medical mission trips once I gain experience as a nurse. These trips are an extension of my faith. I personally believe nursing is a ministry.
