Nurse suspended without pay for offering to pray for a patient during a home visit - what do you think?

(Snowed in today, trying to work from home but it's not really a workplace atmosphere around here today :-)

Updated: the patient is described as a Christian in the article. One wonders if this means Christian as in really a Christian, or "Christian I suppose" which AFAICT is the majority religion of the UK. Updated: actually "have Christian beliefs myself" is more like the phrasing I'd expect from someone who takes it seriously.

Deeply unprofessional. Since she claims she does this for all of her patients, she risks annoying or offending them if they don't share her beliefs. And she's in a position of authority, dealing with sick, old and vulnerable people. Shame on her.

The hospital in Derby that's called in an exorcist is rather more troubling, mind you...
