Suspension of Nurse Who Offered to Pray for Patient's Recovery Sparks Uproar

I thought I did, the part you didn't include:


if I was wrong, I apologize. I was trying to be fair.

In the VA hospitals, there's a chaplain staff. It's their job to coordinate and recruit for the prayer groups. I imagine that non-Chaplain staff is welcome to attend the groups, time permitting. If a nurse recognizes a patient from a group they attended, it wouldn't be inappropriate for the nurse to bring up the topic. Outside that, I think the nurses should restrict themselves to "I've got you in my prayers" or the like and concentrate on the mundane needs of the patient.

They shouldn't be prevented from praying for patients, but they should not ask the patient. It's very easy to offend someone. If the patient askes for prayers, then that's fine, and the nurse is welcome to say a prayer to herself as she does her rounds, or at home. I just don't think she needed to let her patient know her intentions.

Would a reasonable person be offended if another offered to pray for them? Do folks have a right to be saved from any single thing which might - in the least amount - offend them?

Just read the article and the thread, dimples.

I'm not a prophet in the sense that I can predict what you are going to say next, or impute intelligence into your otherwise unintelligible posts.....I am a prophet in the sense of warning people that if they are stupid enough to pay attention to what you say, they are doomed to a future of psychotic ramblings......

[Psychoblues]

And yet you use in your headline "confusion as a tool..........".

Rather shallow and a faux claim by you, correct?!?!?????????!
