Ministers of Health may be parish nurses, lay persons, or other allied health care professionals. The primary difference is an issue of licensure (which implies independent competency). The above interventions fall within the scope of nursing practice but are not confined solely to the realm of nursing. Only registered nurses are licensed to practice nursing autonomously. LPN (Licensed Practical Nurses) and retired or inactive RNs must take the title of “Lay Minister of Health” or another title acceptable to the congregation and denomination s/he is serving.
