I was in the group that interviewed Rosemary Kneeling. I asked her a question about how did she integrate her faith into nursing. Her response really stuck with me. She explained how it was really hard for her to exactly "preach" due to modern limitations. She didn't speak the Bible at every bedside she was at. She said the way she integrated her faith was by "showing" the Bible. Her actions showed the love, respect, and kindness of Jesus. She didn't just show this to her patients but to all her colleagues as well. She explained it was not always easy, but in times when it was hardest was when the Spirit of the Lord was most evident. A quote a wrote down by her was, "Show through actions, and finally, when necessary, speak."

ReplyDeleteThe nurse I interviewed for the faith integration project responded in the same way. She believes God has called her to be a nurse and placed her in a sphere of influence to show the love of Christ to her patients and co-workers. She identifies the best way to integrate faith into nursing as it pertains to her co-workers and patients is by showing love through her actions and searching for the beauty in everyone. Just in the short time I have spent at the hospital, I have seen how acts of kindness and compassion are practical and non-threatening ways to show love. This is such a simple concept that I hope to implement and improve as I gain more experience in the nursing field.
