Would you be able to administer this medication to someone who is using it for this reason? For example, I have an IUD because I cannot tolerate any other form of BC. I am 22 and married. But what if I was 13 and had horrible periods and couldn't tolerate other forms of BC ( I know this is rare) and a doctor gave that pt an IUD. What if you have a pt who comes in for something completely unrelated but then mentions they want to get put on BC and they are a HS student using it only for pregnancy prevention? You would have to refuse administering meds to the pt you have already agreed to care for. I think it's very hard to set yourself up for that kind of situation. Every time you have an admission you are going to think in the back of your head "oh can I take this pt or are they here for something that is against my beliefs?" I would very carefully consider your departmental choices. Is it possible to work in these with your conditions? Absolutely. However, could you possibly put a burden on another nurse? Absolutely. I respect your honestly on the situation I just caution you that you could make your life very hard on yourself. I would hate for you to become a nurse and never find a nurse manager in any of the chosen departments that will respect your wishes. That may be rare but it is also possible. Either way I hope you find peace with your decision.
I have no idea why any doc would presribe you an IUD, I though it was a contradiction for a childless,young women do to possibility of infertility,infection etc..

I could be totally wrong but after reading JayMar23's postings in the thread , I feel the Allnurses forum is being used by JayMar23 to espouse her own views on a controversial subject . There are many inconsistency's in her posts . We write and read here to exchange ideas , to help our fellow nurses and nursing students , and to learn from each other . It is my opinion that someone without integrity has no place in the profession . Read a few quotes from JayMar23 and decide for yourself - or perhaps an explanation of how a 23 year old is in her 5th year of school , taking extra courses , getting A's and B's while employed as a teacher for problem students ? Oh , and also admits "I'm not in school yet"


QUOTES : "I would like to go into nursing, but am against abortion completely at all times"

"Answer me this, do you think nurses should be forced to assist in abortion procedures?"

"I am not in scool yet, i have to ask you ,what is trisomy 13? iup? is that the sme as an iud?"

"I am currently in education, I teach students right now who say terrible things to eachother, who have beat up other kids, have done things i disagree with, but when they need help with their scoolwork i help them"

"I take birth control, i am 23 years old. I would not feel comfortable giving birth control to a twelve year old"

"Excuse me, if i ever made it through nursing school? Are you implying that I am stupid and can not do it? I am in my fifth year of a concurrent degree. I have gotten As and Bs across the board each year and have had to take 7 courses a term because it is 6 years of school put into five. I have worked extremely hard and am definately NOT a stupid person."

I am in my field experience for teaching, same as clinicals for nursing, i am not a hired teacher yet. My post WAS to seek advice on something that ws important to me from people who are knowledgeable about what i was asking, but then it turned into an attacking me for being pro life kinda thing, and accusing me of being judgemental. My student teaching placement is part of my degree, same as clinicals, i am finished in a week then i go back to my own courses. So that was an assumption on your part, I am not teaching full time i am a student teacher,,, i graduate in May. What point are you trying to make by all of this? There are many people in the world that get more than one degree or have two professions that are important to them. There is nothing wrong with that and it is not your place to judge,

I never said that you were a teacher. My point is that you are 23 and already thinking of another career before you even finished the one you are working on.

I don't believe I have attacked you about your being pro-life. I think it is fine to be however you wish.

If you wanted advice on what being pro-life in nursing was about you could have easily asked that without religion playing a role or your opinion on birth control. I told you in a previous post that YOU chose what you are able to deal with and that you find a job within those perameters.
