[NP-Clinical] Thanks Barb Fee and others!

[Colleen]

For posting reasonable responses - when did this country become a place 
where the 'spiritual' was a subject not to be spoken of in public?  Where we 
are so intolerant of others religions or lack there of (whatever that means 
to you)? Aren't we, as nurses first, charged with dealing with all realms of 
our human 'beingness', whether we personally agree or not? If you don't 
agree - just delete the email and please move on to the next one! I've not 
been on this list very long and I'm saddened by the hostility I'm reading 
thats directed toward our peers. I know this very same hostility is a huge 
part of the reason we are so divided as a profession.
I will continue to pray for you all! ;)
