The Art and Science of Nursing

As I learned more about the art and science of nursing, I discovered that nurses must be aware and abstain from their own beliefs, judgment and practices when caring for their clients. The reason for this is that every individual has their own way of living depending on their religious and/or cultural beliefs and backgrounds. Because I find myself to be very strong in my religion, I must understand that, when caring for a patient with different religious views that my personal religious beliefs cannot interfere with the care I give them, nor can I treat them differently for who they are and what they believe in.
Learning about different religions proves to be, not only an enlightening experience to understand different religious views, but an advantage when caring for someone with different cultural beliefs.
