From the Editor

 

February is Heart Month when we focus on cardiovascular health. Are you taking time for exercise, eating well, managing stress? How’s your heart doing? More importantly, how’s your real heart, your spiritual heart? Could you use time with God? How about some encouragement? Under "Collections," check out the new topical collection, From the Heart, short vignettes that beautifully relay the heart of nursing. The collection is free this month. I guarantee when you read these stories your heart will be touched.

  3. When facing death or loss, what difference does faith in Christ make to you or nurses you know?
Quick Poll

Do you routinely (almost every shift) include some type of spiritual assessment in your care of patients?
