Subject: RE: BS: Nurse Suspended for praying ????
Or maybe they discovered that she had not actually breeched any code of conduct!!! She had done her job efficiently and the offer of prayer was altruistic and non intrusive!!!

An offer of prayer can never be altruistic and non intrusive; on the contrary, it is an invasive imposition based entirely on the subjective presuppositions of the believer that what they believe is somehow relevant to anyone but themselves. As for breeching the code of conduct - offering to pray for someone is not delivering care based on best available evidence, nor is it demonstrating a personal and professional commitment to equality and diversity. It is, in fact, an abuse of a privileged position for personal ends.
