    That would indeed be an interesting study! It's interesting, but one could search day and night, without any success of finding any journal of this sort in my industry (banking industry).....

    Journal of Christian Nursing

    A quick Google search will find a deep connection between Christianity and Nursing. An almost non-existant relationship between Christianity and Banking. Which is probably why the banking industry has been plagued by unethical practices for years.
    I just want to point out as an atheist just how offensive that last line is. I don't think you meant to offend anyone, but phrases like this are commonly used. I have met many Christian nurses that I would love to have take care of me. But I have met many that I wouldn't also. Ethics is completely independent of religion.

    I will be making a career change, from the banking industry to nursing. Thought about it over the past year. In my industry, Christians are far and few between. I suppose much of this has to do with the main focus being, money.

    Wondering about the prevalence of Christians in the nursing field? I know much of this has to do with what area of the country one works. Also, non-Chrisitans may not be looking out for Christians in the workforce. I know in my industry, I feel alone, to say the least.
    How does money make one assume a field is any "less Christian" than another?

    Let's not get into Churches who misuse that same "money" that's donated to them.

    Anyhow, I can say that most people in my workplace couldn't care less what religion the other is. Although I haven't come across many religious nurses, if and when I do, I respect them just the same. As an atheist, I may not agree with their opinions, but we are all professionals and should act as such. I've never had any problems and religion isn't something that comes up much where I work.

    Mind you, I'm in Canada. I'm sure this isn't the case in some southern American states.

    Why do Christians always think everything started with them? The arrogance and/or ignorance is astounding. "The nursing profession" does not have its roots in Judaeo-Christian traditions butterfly, "nursing" or people who have acted as "nurses" has been around in every culture, every tribe and every corner of the globe since the beginning of time. Believe it or not, life did go on before the time of Christian religion.
    Silly. Don't you know that before christianity, there were no nurses? What, do you think all cultures develop a group of people to care for the sick and infirm or something? How absurd!

    And before the ten commandments, everyone thought it was okay to kill and steal.

    And it's inherent morality is why rich nations who identify so strongly as practicing Christians (the united states) give so much foreign aide per capita, while strongly secular/atheist nations (Sweden) give so little per capita.

    Your beliefs are irrelevant.
