Re: Nurse suspended for offering to pray for patient's recovery

She wasn't being 'preached at', nowhere does it say the nurse went on about how Jesus is alive and died for our sins etc - had the nurse gone that far then I'd be more inclined to agree that what she did was not appropriate at work.

She offered to keep the lady in her thoughts outside of work (which is a poke in the eye at the militant anti-religionists who are assuming the nurse was going to pray for her right there in the room) in a way that many many other people do, and would appreciate. This is bourne out by the fact that it's only ever been brought up twice in her career.
