Abstract

Henri Nouwen's writings provide opportunity for nurses, students, and educators to reflect on nursing in the context of Christian faith. This article offers insight from Nouwen's work and its relevance to intellectual disability nursing practice and education. Five themes are developed from Nouwen's insights: 1) the descending way, 2) insignificance and marginalization, 3) learning to support the person, 4) building relationship, and 5) trusting God will catch you.
