A Nursing Students Prayer

Thank you Lord, for helping me through
The hours of study and training I'll do.
Give me a keen mind and healthy body, too,
So a nurse's career I can pursue.

Thank you for placing in my heart
Compassion for other to impart.
May my hand be instruments of love
As I seek your wisdom from above.

Guard my thoughts and my tongue,
So words of encouragement are sung.
Give me strength wherever you lead
As I lean on you for my every need.

May nursing never be just a job that I do,
So lives I touch will be a ministry from you.
Help me submit to the Great Physician's commands,
As I remember life and death are in your hands.

And through it all, may I learn and grow,
For these lessons of life I need to know.
Lord help me be persevering too,
And give me courage as only you can do.

Lord, please keep me from all harm
For I know I'm safe in your sheltering arm.
And Lord how I pray you and others will see,
The kind of nurse you'd have me to be.

Lovely prayer ?

Here is one that I think is kinda silly, but very sweet too. It applies to pre-nursing students too.

Why Do I do This?

By Ashley Lipscomb, Student Nurse

Why do I study all hours of the night?
Why do I put up such a fight?
I do it because one day I will celebrate new baby born.
And, one day, help a family mourn.
It makes me have courage and determination.
It teaches me how to handle my dissatisfaction.

Some people will curse or bless you.
But every day they will teach you something new.
That is why I study all night.
And, why I put up such a fight.
Because one day, a Nurse I will be.
To help people like you and me.

My personal favorite of nursing prayers:

MY NURSE'S PRAYER

When I falter, give me courage.
When I tire, renew my strength.
When I weaken because I'm human,
Inspire me on to greater length.

If doctors and patients become demanding,
And days are too short for all my duty,
Help me remember I chose to serve,
To do so with grace, and spiritual beauty.

In humility, Lord, I labour long hours,
And though I sometimes may fret;
My mission is mercy.
Abide with me, that I may never forget.
