in society and to be what he wants us to be in the situation
where HE has placed us

LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Light also means good works to be
seen by men.

CHRISTIAN VALUES IN NURSING
The Value of Man
![Page 30: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Christian beliefs form the basis for Christian values
What we believe in
is what we value
Believe that man is created in the image of GOD -Genesis 1:27
“Means that man has worth and
honor in the eyes of God.”
![Page 31: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Do we see our patients as men and women of value and
worth?
If we do…
Challenge to consider each patient as
individual, to give personalized care and see to the needs of the
whole person.
![Page 32: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Do we see them as GOD sees them – lost in sin, yet precious in
his sight??
If we do…
Will take every opportunity to tell them
of GOD’s love and provision for salvation through Christ Jesus
![Page 33: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
In other words we will give some priority to spiritual care
![Page 34: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
If we believe that man is of value then the way we care for patients
should reflect this belief
even though they may be difficult and
unpleasant to look after.
![Page 35: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
CHRISTIAN VALUES IN NURSING
The Value of Compassion
![Page 36: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Compassion comes from an awareness of
one’s relationship with
other human beings and
causes one to enter into the experiences of
another
![Page 37: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Sensitive to the pain, fear and anguish of another and to go where it hurts.
![Page 38: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Compassion is not a skill that can be mastered through training, rather, it is a personal quality arising from being one
with the human race.
![Page 39: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The Christian nurse is in a privileged position to help people in need.
She can feel deeply for the patients,
understand their suffering, be tender-hearted and shown
mercy to those who cry for mercy.
![Page 40: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Nursing is a caring service not a cold profession.
![Page 41: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
CHRISTIAN VALUES IN NURSING
The Value of Service
![Page 42: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Remind ourselves of the Christian
value of service, of being a servant.
The Lord Jesus emptied himself by taking the form of a servant…humbled himself and
became obedient into death, even death on the cross.
![Page 43: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
NURSING
Service
GOD MAN
![Page 44: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Make ourselves available and useful
-Matthew 34:40 Golden Rule
Servant hood also teaches us to be obedient and submissive
to those who have authority over us, unless of course, it is contrary to what GOD have us
do.
Superior – subordinate relationship: “The greatest among you should be like the youngest and the one who rules like the one who
serves. (Luke 22:26)
![Page 45: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
CHRISTIAN VALUES IN NURSING
The Value of Relationship
![Page 46: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
WORK AS A TEAM
As Christian Nurses, our behavior and conduct should contribute to
good working relationship
![Page 47: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
1.“If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live
peacefully with all.” (Romans 12:18)
2. “See that none of your repays evil, but always seek to do good to another and
to all.” (1 Thessalonians 5:15)
“Do not avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of
GOD." (Romans 12:19)
3. Admonish the idlers, encourage the faint –
hearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.”(1 Thessalonians 5:14)
![Page 48: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
4. “We are to work hastily.” (Colossians 3:25)
Working hard, being competent and maintaining a high standard of
nursing care will command trust and respect.
Uphold Christian ethics at work
![Page 49: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind! Then you will be
able to test and approve what GOD’s will is, His good, pleasing and perfect will.”
(Romans 12:12)
![Page 50: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
We will only know the difference between the world’s values and
Christians values if we know what we believe. Whether or not we act
on what we believe depends on how much we value our relationship with
GOD
![Page 51: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Uphold Christian Values in nursing because we are “a chosen people…a chosen
profession, holy – belonging to GOD that you may declare the praises of HIM who called you
out of darkness into his wonderful light.
- 1 Peter 2:9
![Page 52: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

O Lord, my GOD, I dedicate myself to Thee for this great work I undertake
for Thee.
Take thou mine eyes, and teach them how to see the clearest way to nurse the sick
for Thee.
![Page 54: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
My hands, guard them, and show them how to prove how kind and gentle is a nurse’s
love
Guide thou feet, give swiftness to their
tread in answering every call from the poor sufferer’s bed.
![Page 55: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Touch thou lips, guard thou my tongue,
uttering only words of kindness to each one.
Gird me with strength, that I may bear the
task, help me to play part in life without
fear.
![Page 56: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
And when I am a night nurse, please guide my actions, be near
my patients, and watch by my side.
O Lord, I ask thee, hear me while I pray. Be in me, through me,
and with me all the way
![Page 57: Spirituality in Nursing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062512/551fdef0497959335b8b534c/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
