Publisher's Summary
Is it possible to be a Christian and a nurse at the same time?
When I first started out in my calling as a nurse, I thought the answer to that question was an easy "yes," but then as I walked the long halls of the hospital, I started to have questions:
- Is it ever okay to pray for a patient?
- Why do I feel so awkward asking for a chaplain?
- When death is real, does heaven have a place in the hospital?
I tried to find resources written by other Christian medical professionals to help me, but all I ever heard were statements on ethics and the legal repercussions of bringing "coercive" faith to the bedside.
Then I faced death myself in an ICU bed and learned that a lot of my fears were irrelevant in the Presence of the living God. And with that realization, I began to learn how God could make me a Christian and a nurse at the same time.
Facing death in an ICU bed is a high-risk education not everyone can afford, so I've collected the lessons learned during my journey in this book. These spiritual case studies can be used to help nurses bring their faith to work.
Discussion Questions included for small group study or personal growth.
