About this nonfiction
Called to Care : A Christian Worldview for Nursing by Judith Allen Shelly; Arlene B. Miller is a nonfiction available to read on EtoBox.
<p>Nursing keeps changing.</p><p>The role of the nurse grew out of a Christian understanding of the human person as created in the image of God, and viewed the body as a living unity and the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:19). Contemporary nursing, however, is increasingly characterized by a diminished understanding of personhood. The impact on patient care has proven confusing and discouraging to many nurses.</p><p>In the newly revised and expanded Called to Care: A Christian Worldview for Nursing, Judith Allen Shelly and Arlene B. Miller define nursing for today based on a historically and theologically grounded understanding of the nurse's call:</p><p>Nursing is a ministry of compassionate care for the whole person, in response to God's grace toward a sinful world, which aims to foster optimum health (shalom) and bring comfort in suffering and death for anyone in need.</p><p>Called to Care asserts that nursing is a vocation, giving nurses a framework for understanding their mission and living out their calling: service to God through caring for others.</p>
