Hello
I'm a nurse working in a medical ward in New Zealand and I'm really interested in this site and all the things you say here. You've helped me in the past - each time I've asked.
I know that many nurses working in hospice care have definite views on what happens after people die. I don't believe in purely "dust to dust" - I believe the soul lives on.
You could say that I have an "issue" with God about heaven and hell and how, according to the Bible, a lot of people aren't saved because they don't trust Jesus.
I get really stressed over this issue.
Do you find it affects your work in hospice care, worrying about "where people will spend eternity"?
Do you ever want to say something to sway a person's chosen way?
I'm fully aware that pt choice comes first, pt autonomy etc, but I have this conflict inside.
Thanks for any comments.
Jeanette
