The Guardian article makes it clear that the nurse offers to pray for patients on a regular basis and considers it a valuable part of the care she gives, which bothers me, since I don't think a reprimand would work. If she loses her job because she refuses to stop telling/asking patients she's praying for them, I don't have a problem with that, it sounds like a suspension is the only way to make her stop while they think about it.
And as almost no-one has said, though I don't like people saying "I'm not offended but someone might me" I can totally understand how a 70+ year old housebound person might use that form of words out of fear of being too much trouble or causing offence.
