      Making Connections

      1.Nursing is now widely recognized as one of the “professions,” along with medicine, law, ordained ministry, etc. This book assumes, however, that, at least for those who self-identify as Christians, it is also a “vocation,” that is, a way of putting their faith into practice. How do you react to that assumption?

      2.The ANA Code claims to be a “nonnegotiable” ethical guideline for nurses. How do you understand that claim? Have you ever been in a situation that required you to act in a way that was contrary either to the Code or to your own conscience? Explain.

      3.What are your initial feelings about reading a book that relates Christian Scripture and theology to your chosen profession? Did this introduction address your concerns?

      1. In the Revised Standard Version (RSV) translation of 1 Kings 1:1–4, we read of a young woman who was hired as a “nurse” for the elderly King David. But the Hebrew term used there, sākan, is better translated as “attendant,” per the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV). Her assigned duties include those of a “concubine,” although David’s impotence prevents her from exercising them. We therefore exclude this passage from the list of biblical references to “nurses,” though we mention it here in passing because older concordances sometimes cite it.

      2. The Old Testament also refers several times to midwives (Hebrew: meyalledet; Greek: maia). These were women whose chief responsibility was to assist pregnant women in childbirth (Gen 35:17; 38:28; Exod 1:15–22). Those named in the Bible as midwives do not seem to have performed any other “nursing” functions, nor is midwifery listed as a function of those who are named as nurses. It is possible, of course, that some ancient women served both as nurses and as midwives, but there is no direct textual evidence to that effect.
