Abstract
A nursing professor explores her experience when invited to teach honors students each year in a Religion course, part of a series of guest speakers’ search for spirituality and meaning as working professionals. Consistent with Lasallian values, the course aims to promote students’ intellectual and spiritual growth. The Religion professor and his syllabus shape the guest lecturer’s class that describes contemporary experiences of a health care provider and academic framed by gospel and empirical literature. A teaching plan maps the class and provides examples of loving one another in health care settings for students enrolled in various majors. The plan offers structure for a class session focused on Matthew’s gospel on loving one another and self and augmented by literature on demonstrating loving kindness.
