Week 5 Devotional Question

And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John. And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:41-45 (ESV)

In this week’s verse, what are your thoughts about our need to be servants to all of our patients or students? And people in the community?

Jesus Christ is the ruler and the king of this world, He came down in the form of a man and lived his life as we are living in this world. He set the best example for us to follow so we know all things are possible if we set our minds to do it. He as a king, did not Lord over his disciples but rather served them and He has charged each and everyone to serve irrespective of who, what and where you find yourself. Being a leader is not an easy task. It involves a lot of responsibilities and ultimately makes you a servant even though you are a team lead. A leader must ensure that the staff has everything they need to make their work smooth. There are times where some leaders feel they have the final say and would not listen to the voice of their staffs and this makes working difficult and uncomfortable. In such cases they loose their staffs. This is not to say a leader should condone with everything the staff wants, but should have a listening ear and weigh the options, have a discussion with the staff and they come to a unanimous agreement. Leaders serve. They serve students by training them to be the best they can. They serve their team by making sure all supplies are available in the unit or hospital setting. They serve by deescalating issues between patient and staffs. Leaders must be humble, smart and firm and willing to serve both young and old.

My initial reaction to this verse and question was, “I learned something in grad school, ha”! In my last class, we discussed types of leadership and one type of leadership style that really stood out to me was servant leadership. Tarallo (2018) defines servant leaders stating, “They are serving instead of commanding, showing humility instead of brandishing authority, and always looking to enhance the development of their staff members in ways that unlock potential, creativity and sense of purpose”. In relation to nursing, this type of leadership whether in a leader position or as a bedside nurse is putting others before oneself. This can be rewarding and lead to positive outcomes. I feel it is a reminder to put the wants and needs of others before our own. Our feelings on a matter and what we would do should not apply when we are advocating for our patient. In previous discussions, especially when we spoke of the code of ethics for nurses, emphasized the importance of listening to our patients and providing care based on their needs. Servants come in all shapes and styles and as nurses we should be a servant to those we care for and to those we teach. (word count: 202)

Servant Leadership is one of my favorite subjects that I taught in another class. I believe nurses are servant leaders. We have had famous servant leaders such as Nelson Mandela, Abe Lincoln, Mother Teresa, Jesus of Nazareth, and many more. We have current day famous servant leaders. Those who are not famous are the nurses among others whose profession or life serves others.

I would agree with the above verse. In a world where service to others is the fundamental societal premise, increased peace would be the result. Serving and uplifting others collectively strengthens society as a whole. If the majority of people applied this in the majority of interactions professional and personal what an impact this would have. This would diminish stressors contributing to a healthier society. It is a shame that human nature works against this premise. Most people are focused on personal gain and economic profit. I have embraced and implemented the approach to servant leadership and the results are outstanding. Patient care has improved, the work environment has improved, and absenteeism has decreased. Coming to work is a joy. Collectively we all serve each other and it shows. It is interesting we have one employee who intermittently works in our environment and does not embrace a servant ideology and this has a detrimental effect on our group. This is a tangible event and is noticed by all the other team members. Nursing is a calling to serve others. I have seen many people over the years leave the profession because they entered for economic stability if that is the only reason you became a nurse it is quickly realized that we are grossly under-compensated financially for our burden of responsibility.
