I Love being a Christian Nurse

Nurses Spirituality

Published

I love being a Christian Nurse. I know there are many people out there that do not share my beliefs but, I care for them the same as I would someone who shared my beliefs. I did not become a Nurse to take care of people who believe the same as I do, I did it because I want to help people heal and make a difference in their healing process.

. We are nurses. Our religious beliefs should in no way be connected to our role as nurses.

I respectfully disagree. We have to take ourselves to work with us. That is why it is acceptable for nurses who do not believe in a specific procedure are allowed to not be part of it. We do not give up our rights as humans when we decide to become nurses.

I have found that if a person has a decent values system, some form of spirituality and a good skill set they bring more than the person who leaves their spirituality under the covers at home. It does not matter what religion or no religion. If you work from an ethical and values based belief system you do better than those who only being skilled hands to work.
