Nurses Spirituality

Published

Hi everyone!! I come from a very Christian family...My mom and stepdad are both devout Christians, and while I was raised in a religious household I have yet to develop a connection with God. I've recently taken up nursing (I just finished my nursing school applications!!) and I am curious to know if anyone was in this same position before/while pursuing nursing. Will nursing bring me closer or farther away from God? Obviously I didn't choose to go into nursing because I want to work on my faith, but I can't help but wonder if this will either help or hurt :-)

If anyone has any stories or inspiration for me that would be great!!!

I think the answer to your question may lie here:

Luke 10: 25-37.

I think it symbolizes everything about Christ and his followers. It has very little to do with spirituality and religion, but everything to do with humanity, humility, compassion, and kindness. It, therefore, also speaks to the heart of Nursing. God Bless You!

It can do a little of both, to be honest. You'll see sad things and you'll see horrific things. You'll also see amazing things and meet more amazing people.

You just have to choose how to look at it, if at all.
