Most of us are assuming that the nurse just dropped in a prayer at the end of the consultation, but we don't know, she could well have been banging on about religion throughout her visit and the prayer was the straw that broke the camels back.
Its a moot point saying the old lady didn't complain, because by ringing her employers and saying "it doesn't bother me but it might well bother others" what did she expect would happen?
The nurse is a professional care giver who by and large is going to be treating people she hardly knows, so why on earth does she feel the need to introduce religion into this scenario? I doubt very much this was only the second time she'd done this, how many other people have had to listen to her religious views whilst she tends to them?
Surely the patient has the right not to be preached at, that comes before her "religious freedoms".

According to the lady herself:
She didn't say a prayer for the patient in question because the offer was declined. She offered to pray for the patient only once, so didn't force her religious beliefs on anybody, simply offered a prayer. There was no preaching involved.
Her previous "offence" was the offer of a prayer card, again declined, which according to the lady herself was not accompanied by any preaching.
Lets get it in perspective.
