{"product_id":"called-to-care-a-christian-vision-for-nursing","title":"Called to Care: A Christian Vision for Nursing","description":"Nursing is a vocation: a calling from God to care for others. The role of the nurse originally grew out of a holistic Christian understanding of humans as created in the image of God. Yet as nursing and healthcare continue to change, the effects have proven disorienting to many. Now more than ever, we need nurses who are committed both to a solid understanding of their profession and to caring well for patients and their families.\nFor over twenty years, Called to Care has served as a unique and essential resource for nurses. In this third edition Judith Allen Shelly and Arlene B. Miller, now joined by coauthor Kimberly H. Fenstermacher, present a definition for nursing based on a historically and theologically grounded vision of the nurse's call:\nNursing is a ministry of compassionate and restorative care for the whole person, in response to God's grace, which aims to promote and foster optimum health (shalom) and bring comfort in sufferingand death for anyone in need.\nFocusing on the features of the nursing metaparadigm―person, health, environment, and nursing―they provide a framework for understanding how the Christian faith relates to the many aspects of a nurse's work, from theory to everyday practice.\nThis new edition of Called to Care is thoroughly revised for today's nurses, including updated examples and new content on topics such as cultural competency, palliative care, and the current state of healthcare and nursing education. Each chapter features learning objectives, discussion questions, case studies, and theological reflections from Scripture to help readers engage and apply the content. For educators, students, and practitioners throughout the field of nursing, this classic text continues to provide clarity and wisdom for living out their calling.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 151400092X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.151400092X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Shelly, Judith Allen|Miller, Arlene B.|Fenstermacher, Kimberly H\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
