Looking for fellow Muslim nurses.

[MuslimRN]

As salaamu alaikum insha Allah*** we can connect and share our experiences. I have been A registered nurse for 5 years and I love it. Gives me a chance to teach my patient's about Islam and feel great about that. I love being Muslim!

***Note English translation: 'Peace to you all if Allah wills'.

Good luck in your job search!

[Monkey Nurse, ASN, RN]

Alhamdulilah-- just turned over a 1 year mark in my job and while my location is a challenge I couldn't ask for a better first job as far as experience, pay, and benefits goes. Plus!! I am doing my dream work more often than not-- I've gone from noob nurse to THE OB nurse of my shift :) Allahu Akbar (God is the greatest!) HE is the best of planners. My favorite part is--- student loan forgiveness. I'll be free, insha' Allah (God willing) of this debt in another 2 years.

Salam alaykum well I am a male muslim nurses and I also have an important question too how do you go about your solat/prayers in solat at work....do you offer them on the unit/at designated prayer places.Thank you

Wa alaikum as salaam, brother. Your unit is required to provide reasonable religious accommodation. That being said, I do try to take a break so that prayers can be done at the beginning and end of a break... e.g., dhuhr and asr for day shift or isha and fajr on night shift... that being said, there are some days I have to make them up all at one go at home, but I really hate to do that. Some muslims I know do that because they can't rely on breaks in healthcare, also :-( Mostly I have prayed in my unit but some hospitals I have worked in have chapels without any statues or pictures, which is great. May Allah make it easy for you!
