Subject: RE: BS: Nurse Suspended for praying ????
It is the nurse's job & paid duty to look after the care of the paient, physically & mentally, not spiritually, that is the relm of the Chaplin who does not come to the patient & ask, may I take your temp or change your bed pan! If that were the case than you are in the wrong hospital, under the care of the wrong professionals & you need to report them & have them replaced for the better of the staff, the hospital & most of all for those who go there seeking & expecting professional, proper care on the level that's expected & excepted within the common practice of the medical profession.

I was annoyed that 1st I was asked what my religion was, I equate that to asking me my race (as long as race has nothing to do with my medical care). It's no one's business but mine.
2nd I answered the question & then had a priest by my death bed, that's a total disreguard towards how I asnwered. OK, a last minute ditch to save a soul, I can let it go & did but to have a priest ask me while I'm dying if he could shove a thermometor up my ass & take my temp????!!!! That's pretty much what this nuse did, she overstepped her bounds & she should've been let go & not taken back, she should be workin at a religious hospital where that kind of treatment is exceptable. If one wants treatment at a religious facility that's where they go! Her reinstatment gives all the other soul savers the right to attack their future patients
