Would Jesus be employable

[ohbet]

Lets say Jesus Christ was on earth today ,he went to school and became a nurse,and had the same attitude towards life that he ,apparently had 2000 years ago.

Would he be employable? Or would he make such a fuss when he saw the cost cutting at patients expense and the injustice of the health care system and the discrepancy of care bet/ those with money vs those without,that he would simply not be employable.

And for those christian nurses out there who try to follow his example in attitude and practice,Im one of them,do you find yourself making compromises between your efforts to follow Jesus' example in your daily life and the need to survive and be employable?

Next, the instantaneous healing and joy in the hospital would be met by bean counter fury over lost revenue and lawsuits from disgruntled family members that mom or dad didn't die after all.

The beancounters would definitely be counting more beans, not less.

I'm not sure which gov. program rips us off for taxes to give the hospitals free money, but there's something called DRGs. Jesus would just get a pt load full of those cases that were going to start costing money instead of making it. Once they ran out of expiring DRGs, the load would shift to pts that could be DCd earlier than the DRG was paid for.

Hospital keeps the cash(as usual) that the gov. paid for that paticular DX because they pay it in a lump sum. If you DC them early, you keep the money left over. If they stay past the alotted time for the DX, you're stuck with the responsibility.

Son of God is VERY employable, in fact, extreme measures would likely be taken to keep Him happy.

I think treatment of nurses would be first on His list

Don't forget that the MDs would take all of the credit for healing.

This is a good question. I'm also torn about how a hospital would view Him in light of what we know of Him from the Bible.

Didn't he heal some people when their friends or family asked him to? He didn't even see some of them! Hospitals wouldn't get much mileage from that, I'm afraid.

It seems like when He did heal somebody, He told them (except for the first few times when He told people it was a secret -- man my memory is cloudy - I've got more stuff to look up, don't I?) He told them to go tell everybody what happened.

Most importantly, He told them to go and not sin any more. That's patient teaching, but would it be allowed now-a-days?

All indications are that he wasn't very good at taking directions from other people, doctors or not, and there is no evidence that he was good at filling out forms or charting. Besides, you know what happens these days to people who tell the truth. Nursing seems to be the wrong job for him.

Hey, I think Jesus would be employable. He lived a perfect life! He never made a mistake! I think anyone would be perfectly happy getting meds or any other procedure from someone who is perfect!

If Jesus actually can exist in present real time, and if Jesus wanted to be a nurse, he'd first have to make it through school. Since jesus is a male in the story, he would have to be succesful in school and survive the countless gender attacks heed receive. Then, once/if he graduated RN school, i'd say he would be eaten right up by mean and hungry nurses looking for a fresh kill.

I thought I was provokative, but this thread takes the cake. This thread could offend people who consider jesus to be holy. Don't you have respect for others spiritual values. Not supposed to make fun of a person's god in this way.

All's well. In this day and age, every thread is bound to "offend" someone. This one is no exception. Although, seeing as the thread starter already identifed herself as Christian, I highly doubt that those who also are Christian and therefore think of Jesus as holy would find this is "making fun" of it.

At least I don't, and I'm Christian. But hey, to each his own.

Nope, what is usually offensive to Christians is when you state that God & Jesus are fictional, etc. This thread isn't offensive it's interesting. :)

I would agree to that. The original poster just asked if Jesus would be employable in today's job market. I do not consider this thread blasphemous or degrading to my Lord and Savior. I think it has been a very thought provoking, well discussed thread with bits of humor thrown. Even God has a since of humor, just take one look at the human race and that ought to prove it right there.

Never ask a question unless you are open to any and all answers.

I can speak from experience, sjoe is right.....

I wonder if he'd join us for drinks after work. Wine, of course.
