I'm w SSJ

I'm not Christian but i wouldn't mind if someone prayed for me  ;)

Besides she only offerered to pray, I don't see anything wrong with that.

On one hand, I think the policy is ridiculous.

On the other hand, I think if I want to keep my job, then I'll follow the policies.

Sometimes policies are injust; however, in this case I think that because the nurse chose to do something that she should know is against the rules TO someone else, then she is at fault. It's not like they're telling her not to believe, they are saying it's not okay to talk about it with clients (whether a person paying or receiving a benefit, they're still a client).

Employees are paid to do a job but part of that job is to represent the organization for which they are employed.

I'm a Christian and if a Muslim nurse prayed for me, I would take it.
What the hell is wrong here?
I hope she is reinstated and get her pay for the period of investigation.

If a Christian wanted to pray with me, I'd be more annoyed than anything else. Definitely not insulted enough to complain to a person's superiors, unless they really kept bugging me about it and/or belittling me own views.

Of course it's always possible that there's something else to this that the papers fail to mention. Did she just mention it shortly, or keep insisting?

what if a buddhist wanted to pray for you?

Crazy. Very sad to see this happen to the nurse.

There's a big gap between someone randomly asking 'may I pray for you' and forcing someone to pray with them. It seems the former is the case with this issue.

I think that there may be more to the story, but as-is it sounds that the company + the patient are being pretty anal about the situation. It's not the end of the world if someone cares enough for someone to pray for them.

Next, we'll be going back to the days of Daniel, and throwing people in jail because they found out they were unwilling participants in a prayer :-\

I will accept all your prayers, regardless of religion.

Kind of on the fence about this. I'd really care about the ideology of it if she was caring for kids as well though, for example.

I dislike the second half of the video, she's a nurse, not a nun, and she's on the job to meet their medical needs rather than what she believes their spiritual needs might be.

She admitted to repeatedly doing this though, so if it's against company regulations I don't know what surprised her here.

I'm with the nurse on this one. I mean... as long as religion does not interfere with the actual medicine then why should it matter? If she prays in her own time, it doesn't matter and I believe that any person of "tempered" religion, no matter the faith would liken her praying.

I'm on the fence, I truly believe that the medical system should be kept rigidly secular. There's way too much trouble if we start actually believing that prayers do anything more than a placebo effect.

On the other hand it was a rather small breach of the rules, I imagine she will be fairly quickly reinstated.
