Sister Sarah Kuteh, who has 15 years experience, was dismissed for breaching guidelines.
Despite patients always being asked questions about their religion before surgery, chiefs at Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust said her “unwanted discussions” had offended patients.
The mother of three is now suing the Trust, which runs Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford, Kent, after she was suspended and removed from the premises.
She said: “It was embarrassing for me – and painful after all I had done in my years as a nurse. I was told I couldn’t even speak to my colleagues. All I had done was to nurse from my heart. How could it be harmful to tell someone about Jesus?”
Mrs Kuteh started her nursing career in London before moving to Dartford in 2007 and becoming a sister in 2012. Her last role was to assess patients’ health before they went for surgery.
One question on a required questionnaire was regarding religious beliefs.
