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.

Zugleich stellt die Arbeit mit kranken, stark belasteten und emotional instabilen Personen oft eine große Herausforderung dar.
