Feedback:
In the parish nursing model, the nurse contributes to the health and wholeness of people in the context of a faith community, is part of the ministry staff of the congregation, and serves the illness needs of individual people, families, and the entire faith community. In the institution-based model, the nurse serves a health system with assignment to particular congregational settings, acting as a liaison between the health system and the congregation and helping plan and coordinate care, particularly at times of transition. In the congregation-based model, the nurse serves a particular faith community by virtue of a contract or job description; this model supports the concept of a faith community nurse who can be paid or serve as a volunteer.

Feedback:
The advisory board offers leadership, establishes policy, and helps develop guidelines for faith community nursing programs. The advisory board can help develop support for a budget for the program, but cannot establish the budget for the program. The board cannot provide recommendations on clinical best practices, as its members are typically not qualified to do so.
