Even though the Nurse was just trying to help, this is more serious then some of you guys are making it out to be.
Offering a prayer for an ill patient can cause said patient's stress levels to increase (because it causes them to think the illness is life threatening), which can in some cases worsen the illness.
Although it seems harsh, under no circumstances should a nurse/doctor offer a prayer for an ill patient. The punishment in this case is justified.
