   hoglover replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

   I dont think there are too many nurses that during the course of their care will "hurl a difference of opinion" on a sick/dieing patient. If so, maybe they should find a different profession.

2. "The Jesus Factor"

   hoglover replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

   As nurses we have all been exposed to the importance of culture sensitivity and it is no different with religion. We should uphold the wishes of the patient, no matter what they are, unless we feel morally comprimised in which case we should request...

3. "The Jesus Factor"

   hoglover replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

   If you noticed, I was replying to a previous post that asked if a patient or patients family could request a non-christian nurse. I totally agree with your statements and is exactly what I am trying to say. I am there to meet that patients needs, w...

   Im sure they could ask for a non-christian nurse, a non-catholic nurse, a non-Buddhist nurse, an agnostic nurse, etc. What is the point?
