I recommend the book The Essential Parish Nurse by Deborah Patterson.
It doesn't take the place of a class but has some very practical
suggestions for starting a program.

Subject: [ParishNurse] Starting a new Ministry

Greetings to all,
I am an RN in Arizona, working with a combined group of Evangelical
Lutherans and Reform Catholics on developing a Parish Nurse Program.
To date, none of us has had an opportunity to take any classes, so,
we're looking for some input as to how to go about it. Our client
base would range from poverty level (and below) to upper middle
class; in age from newborn to end of life. We have a large Hispanic
population as well. Any input we could get would be most appreciated.
Peace,
Barbara J. McNichol-Miles, RN
