In May 2021, Texas passed Senate Bill Eight, the Texas Heartbeat Act. The act bans physicians from performing an abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected and bans nonmedical people from aiding or abetting an abortion in such situations.

ABSTRACT:
The aim of this study was to assess if an evidence-based educational program focused on vocation and calling could improve undergraduate nursing students' sense of meaning in life and sense of calling/vocation.

Qualitative responses revealed growth in self-knowledge, importance of individual pathways, and recognition of nursing as one's calling. Courses on calling may encourage nursing students to commit to nursing as a calling. (Source: Journal of Christian Nursing)
