What is a nurse?

From Called to care by Shelly & Miller (2006), p. 91, "As nurses who are mortal beings, we have committed ourselves to choosing life in its fullness for ourselves and those in our care. We work toward health and healing. We fight death as an enemy. At the same time we recognize our limitations, knowing that we are not able to control all circumstances, but remaining confident that we can know and trust the One who does."



Do you agree? Why or why not? What would you add? Does the Bible support these thoughts? How do you know? Do you have a nursing "story" or example to illustrate these comments?
