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. For 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: Nursing 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 suffering and death for anyone
in need. Focusing 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. This 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.
