Prayer in Nursing The Spirituality of Compassionate Caregiving

The work of nursing the sick has long been considered a vocation or a calling, strengthened when prayer is included as a central component of nursing ministry. Prayer in Nursing: The Spirituality of Compassionate Caregiving examines the role of prayer in the life of a nurse from a variety of perspectives, including: the history of prayer in nursing, the importance of prayer in contemporary caregiving, prayer in caring nurse-patient relationships, and the connection between prayer and a healing ministry. Each chapter begins with a meditation and ends with a prayer reflecting on a nurse's spirituality.
