APPLY THE BIBLE TO NURSING

I recently came across an organization called Nurses Christian Fellowship. You know I had to join and "check it out".  Found this and thought it might be useful .

APPLY THE BIBLE TO NURSING- BE TRANSFORMED, TRANSFORM NURSING THUR BIBLE STUDY.

Use these questions in any inductive Bible Study to intergrate your faith and role as a nurse.

 What attributes do you appreciate about God in this passage of Scripture? Which of these attributes do you want to reflect in your nursing practice?

 Is there a promise to claim that encourages you in your nursing role?

 What do you learn about caring, compassion or mercy? How can you integrate what you learn in your daily life as a nursing student or nurse?

 What do you learn about yourself as a person created in the image of God? How does this impact the way you care for others?

 How can you apply the main point of this Bible passage to interactions with your peers, colleagues or patients?

 What does this text say to you about how Christian nurses are to act, speak and work? Is God asking you to make a change in your actions or speech?

 How does this passage offer insight about a problem or challenge you are facing in nursing school or in your nursing role right now?

My Personal Bible Study Tips

Getting Started: My Personal Bible Study Tips

I am not sure how many of you are accustomed to BibleStudies, but I thought I would share my tips. First, it is OK to write in yourBible.  In fact, I got me a JournalingBible about a month ago, just so I could have room to write next to verses. Ialso have been using a journal in the past. Any composition book will do.  When writing in you Bible, I found crayola pencils work well for highlighting. They don’t bleed through the pages.Also different color pens, for underlining or commenting,  as long as they are ball point pens not gel.

I use the S.O.A.P. method, when I study. How appropriate for a nurse. I don’t know if any ofyou are old enough to remember S.O.A.P charting.. Well, Belinda and Jodi will.Any way..

S. Scripture.. I write down scripture that speaks to me

O. Observation. What is that scripture saying

A. Application. How can I apply it to my life. 

P. Pray. Pray about it ( I write my prayer so I can repeat it as often as needed)
