Christian Nurse: Contextual Reflection

1. An Introduction – Include information about your “niche” in the Nursing program…in other words, how did you feel “called” to the Nursing profession? Do you have a passion for a specific “practice” in Nursing (infants, ICU, etc.)? 2. Before you start, read your periscope (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+24&version=NRSV) Luke 24:1-35 (ATTACHED a breakdown from a previous assignment), at least three times. Read the articles, “The Hermeneutical Circle Explained,” and “A Biblical Foundation for Medicine.”  3. in your writing, reflect how your experience as a Nursing student has influenced your interpretation of the Bible. Has your view of the Bible and biblical truth changed since you have been in your Nursing program? How will this experience continue to shape your interpretation as well as an application of the Bible (what scholars will call, “the movement from belief to praxis”)? 4. Have a Conclusion – Has your Nursing experience changed how you feel about God and the bible? How has it changed your views? How has your experience expanded the “hermeneutical circle” in your life? How has it changed your view of Jesus and what the Bible calls, “the Body of Christ” (i.e. the Church, faith communities, etc.)? Is there something that you feel compelled TO DO as a result of your experience? 5. Other instructions: • Use four or five paragraphs and be concise with your conclusions.
