Download or read book Caring Lessons written by Lois Hoitenga Roelofs and published by Deep River Books LLC. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine not wanting to be a nurse, teacher, or teacher of psychiatric nursing only to find yourself doing all three - and loving it! In Caring Lessons, Lois Roelofs tells her stories about being a rebellious ministers daughter, reluctant nurse, restless mom, perpetual student, and, eventually, fun-loving teacher. She used to tell her students that if she, an ordinary suburban sandbox mom, propelled by restlessness and prayer, could end up having a career, growing in faith, and getting a PhD, they could too. Roelofs brings the therapeutic use of self required in nursing to her writing. With a national shortage of registered nurses over a half million projected this decade and a shortage of nursing faculty that causes nursing programs to turn qualified applicants away, Caring Lessons will encourage readers to think about becoming nurses or stimulate nurses to think about becoming teachers, both of which would address these critical shortages. The main theme of the book is caring caring for others and caring for oneself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psalm 127:1a Unless the LORD build the house, they labor in vain who build. This is the story of my journey of faith. I am a cradle Catholic who grew up with God, family and community as the moral compass points in my life, in a small town where everyone knew each other. I conflated obeying God with obeying parents and cultural norms, until I ventured out into the world. Sadly, I married outside the Church, my faith and culture, all of which taught marriage is forever. God was ever calling me back to my faith, immature and unschooled as it was, but the world tugged in another direction and I stayed frozen in the situation. With a clear promise from God that He would not leave me orphan, I took a leap of faith and left with my two children. With God at its center, my life has been an incredible journey of learning to grow in faith and do His work. The Angels that surround me re-anchor me. This is my personal response to God. I leave you, the reader enough room to build your own response. That you are reading this book is the reason God was prompting me to share it.

It can have a profound effect on the healing process. The patients who improve tend to have a strong network of family and friends. Families need care as well and may need TLC for years to come. Even when the patient makes a full recovery, families have to deal with loss and grief. It's important to find others who have survived the medical combat zone and tell your battle stories. This will help you bear the load. There's nothing like a sick room to reorder your priorities. Every person in your family will be changed by this. Caregiving isn't for the faint of heart. It will always require more resources than you have to give. You can't do it alone. Ask a hospital social worker for a list of support groups and family counselors, and reach out to trusted friends. Create your own circle of faith. Accept the bad days with the good and remember that progress is not a linear thing. It usually takes a zigzag path. Never give up and always be open to surprises. Remember that healing isn't just a onetime thing. Miracles keep occurring every day.

Download or read book Jesus Germs and the Great Commission written by Faith Christie and published by . This book was released on 2022-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it possible to be a Christian and a nurse at the same time? When I first started out in my calling as a nurse, I thought the answer to that question was an easy "yes," but then as I walked the long halls of the hospital, I started to have questions:Is it ever okay to pray for a patient? Why do I feel so awkward asking for a chaplain? When death is real, does heaven have a place in the hospital?I tried to find resources written by other Christian medical professionals to help me, but all I ever heard were statements on ethics and the legal repercussions of bringing "coercive" faith to the bedside. Then I faced death myself in an ICU bed and learned that a lot of my fears were irrelevant in the Presence of the living God. And with that realization, I began to learn how God could make me a Christian and a nurse at the same time. Facing death in an ICU bed is a high-risk education not everyone can afford, so I've collected the lessons learned during my journey in this book. These spiritual case studies can be used to help nurses bring their faith to work.Discussion Questions included for small group study or personal growth.
