Christians of faith may I have your thoughts?

Well as a nurse myself and a Christian I would say that they are not bound by client confidentiality code of professional conduct or whatever nor is any Islamic group athist group or Liberal group as we are they would argue that they need to allow some information out so as people can pray,visit, help etc.

people are generaly nosey be they christians or not I suppose

on the question of organized religion yes ime with you on that one. being a christian is about having a relationship with God himself although this is expressed by felloshipping with our brothers and sisters as well. It might be as well to talk to your pastor preist call hime/her what you like to discuss this matter though if personal detail that are inapropriate are being shared

that should be dealt with.

Unless the patients protest to it being published it may not be your concern. As long you stay within your privacy laws what they do isn't your concern. Sometimes it makes the patient feel more cared about and it's been proven that prayer does make a difference in the recovery.

I'm not sure what your referring to. If its just an announcement that someone is sick or hurt I don't see the problem. There may be a problem with a "day to day" faith or a faith that comes first over ones faith in Christ who says that if one loves any one or any thing more than Him they are unworthy of Him. If someone asks personal info beyond what is right just say it is personal or confidential info politely and leave it at that.

Just tell them that it is the personal business of the patients, and that they would not appreciate their information being revealed to the public. Let them know that their concern is appreciated, but that they may be going about it the wrong way. You just have to be polite, but straightforward.

Sometimes just a subtle question to them is enough. A teacher at school where I work knew that an 8th grader was pregnant -- she went to her prayer group and told them all so that they could pray for her. I said, "You TOLD them all she was pregnant?" She was embarrassed, and that was all I needed to say.

I'm an atheist, but I have to speak here. OFFEND THEM!

They have no right to the information and if they are offended by that fact, that's their problem. If you coddle them, they won't go away.

Sure,

I believein one god i livein a place where i get beaten for this kind of thing i really do love my god though.
