Nurse supended for offering to pray
BBC NEWS | England | Somerset | Nurse suspended for prayer offer
It seem she offered to pray for a patient and was reported, personally I think it serves her right, if the patient asked her if she would and she was willing fair enough, as it is she should keep her mouth shut and if she feels the need to pray do it quietly without bothering people.

Re: Nurse supended for offering to pray
i thought they had done a study about the effects of prayer and found that it can help the recovery of believers if they knew they were being prayed for?

Re: Nurse supended for offering to pray
This all seems a bit harsh really, If someone offered to pray for me for any reason I wouldnt make an issue of it or report them, they are just trying to help in any way that they can

Re: Nurse supended for offering to pray
personally i would not bother one way or the other if a nurse asked me. i certainly would not report her if she went with what i said.

Re: Nurse supended for offering to pray
If a nurse said that to me I would conclude that all other means of recovery had been abandoned.
That isn't what I want to hear

Re: Nurse supended for offering to pray
Does all seem rather peculiar and petty, however, we don't know if this nurse was trying to shove her beliefs down this patient's throat before the offer of prayer. She does appear to have quite a strong faith.
As she was only dressing her legs, obviously hadn't much faith in her own healing and would scare me a little to think I might need 'extra' help. On the face of it I would have taken the offer in good spirit (even as an atheist). As Tesco says though 'Every little helps'  LOL Margaret ... you must have been having the same thoughts as I, as I was typing this post ! |

Re: Nurse supended for offering to pray
According to the radio, she had already been told not to distribute religious scripts to patients.
If these people appear at my door for example I can tell them to go away, if I am ill in bed I am a captive audience reliant on her to administer to my physical needs, she should not be there for my soul, if she is asked to pray for the patient then fair enough but, she should not offer this service that is not what she is there for. She can go away and pray quietly to her God if she wishes, but why should I have to put up with her superstitions? Will I and others need a sign over our beds to save us embarrassing each other?

Re: Nurse supended for offering to pray
If the nurse had smacked her patient or if the nurse had stolen from the patient or set fire to the patient or even yelled abuse at the patient, fair enough, she should be suspended. The offer to pray for the patient seems pretty harmless, if distasteful to some. What a load of nonsense.
