Lovely Russ.
As I said, thankfully there are many people out there who, while holding their own beliefs, don't get offended by others showing theirs, but there are a few, who don't seem capable of accepting that others don't share their belief that they are following the one true path, and react in a negative manner.
Put yourself in the patients' shoes for a moment.
Having had negative reactions from people of faith by declining attempts to be included in that faith, the person who I'd be relying on to look out for me then puts me in a situation where I have to decide how to answer that I'm not interested without risking a reduction in that care.
As a vulnerable elderly person, I'd rather not be put in that position thank you very much.
Had you not considered that?
Do you really consider it so unreasonable a request to have her keep her beliefs private?

No, she was not pushing her faith on anyone. By all accounts she's a good nurse who has always shown utmost care for her patients. Never has she put anyone's health at risk or made their condition worse. Nowhere has it been suggested that the patient was put in an awkward position. If she wasn't offended, and neither was the person she originally was reported for mentioning it to, see a pattern forming here?
If only it was as black-and-white as you wish it was hey?
