Dr. Kathy Schoonover-Shoffner, Director of NCF and editor of JCN, speaks on integrating spiritual care with your nursing practice. How can we do spiritual care naturally as an outflow of who we are? Does it have to take up a ton of extra time or can we incorporate spiritual care with things we're already doing as nurses?

[Part 2] Dr. Elizabeth Johnston Taylor unpacks her definition of spiritual care by sharing stories of discernment and learning in her work with patients and research.

Publications by Dr. Taylor

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” - Rainer Maria Rilke
