God @ work...

"What do you believe about life, meaning, purpose and nursing?" I recently asked a classroom full of nursing students and faculty at Newman University in Wichita, Kansas. I explained that good nursing is guided by a personal philosophy that is thought through and lived out.

When I asked them what makes for good spiritual care, they had some great answers! We dialogued about expressing faith in nursing practice and I shared my Christian worldview and the gospel. God provided this excellent opportunity to discuss the role of faith in nursing practice with students and educators, and how the good news of Jesus changes our lives. He is working!
