Surely that should have been warning enough that she was working in an occupation where, or for an employer for whom, the preception of a 'professional' care service is more important than the carer's own personal need to go the extra mile.

She should assume that because getting disciplined for offering to pray for someone is not common sense - it's a PC overreaction. The nurse was clearly demonstrating care - if the recipient does not have the same beliefs then no problem but the nurse clearly believes praying will aid the patient. No harm will come to anyone from her praying. Total overreaction and the trust ought to take a major U-turn over this.
