Abstract

ABSTRACT: The author describes how treatment for a transgender patient was complicated, due to the healthcare facility's lack of staff training. After an education program was implemented, the author wrote an article about the need for training for LGBT care, then faced a quandary about submitting the article to a Christian or secular nursing journal. Through her college administrator's support, the author's commitment to living her faith in every arena was strengthened.
