Publisher's Description
Quiet Moments for Nurses: Biblical Reflections for Rest and Renewal includes ninety devotions to give nurses and nursing students a break from their demanding schedules and responsibilities. Each short chapter includes a quote from Scripture and a reflection with personal and practical examples from the author’s and other nurses’ experiences in hospital, nursing home, and home care settings with patients of all ages. Experiences of family caregiving, Parish nursing, nursing education, and missionary nursing are shared as well as the experiences and wisdom of many patients cared for over the years. Nursing history is addressed, including a number of real and fictional nursing ancestors. Daily devotions like “On Call” and “Physical Therapy” include meditations on passages that focus on God’s provision of wisdom, strength, refreshment, and renewal, bringing God’s perspective into the realities of daily nursing tasks. Quiet Moments for Nurses is a resource for the individual nurse or for nurses and nursing students who meet in small groups.

“In this exquisite devotional for nurses I can find not only solace, but also validation, inspiration, and hope that my work as a nurse educator becomes as ‘dew drops and gentle rain’ for those I serve in my profession. Reconnecting Scripture with the daily experiences of teaching nursing centers my effort firmly upon the foundation which sprouted my need to nurse and to teach in the first place.
