I am unpaid staff as a part-time Parish Nurse, I have a small budget line for books, resources, speakers. So far that has been all I needed. Some in our area have written Grants for development of Parish Nurse programs.

Have you ever heard of Grocery Store Certificate programs.
How ideal it would be for a Parish Nurse to be self funding by utilizing the same concept but incorporating the use of E-Commerce.
It works this way
When ever a Parishiner becomes a part of the Parish Nurses Off-Line community of on line shoppers, the Parish Nurse obtains income from that loyal shoping traffic.
My Parish has a Grocery Store Certificate program in place if you are interested in learning more about it.
As for the idea of utilizing ownership in your own E-Commerce Franchise and how that could help fund your Parish Nurse Program...JB

BTW Pan Evans I saw that you are from Derby Ks...Hello...I graduated from Nursing School At Wesley Medical Center in Wichita Dec 1979

The parish nurses I know are all volunteers, and have regular jobs to pay the bills.

Is anyone being paid for this?
