Request from Drs. Harold Koenig and Verna Benner Carson

Drs. Koenig and Carson are beginning a second edition of Parish Nursing: Stories of Service and Care and would like to invite you to send your stories.

Dr. Carson writes, "We want to expand our focus beyond those initial nurses [included in the 1st edition] to include the voices and stories of other parish nurses, including those who are practicing internationally. We would be honored to hear and include your story in this book. The process that we used in the first edition was to send out a questionnaire that guided the nurses as they told their stories. In addition, I communicated with them via email throughout the project. When the book was published everyone who participated received a complimentary copy of the book as a token of our appreciation for their generous sharing."

For more information about participation, please contact Dr. Carson vcars10@comcast.net or Dr. Koenig koenig@geri.duke.edu
