religion in the workplace
I always pray especially when asked. I have been fortunate to have been allowed to do that. I am only a nursing student at present (4 months and 9 days to go) but have been a phlebotomist for several years. Above all I am a child of God. It is like a mini ministry for me, I used to be known as the praying phlebotomist.. I still work part time until I am out of school, and just yesterday I had to go to a nursing home for stat labs and the patient had told her daughter to kiss because it was time, needless to say the family was on edge and upset- so when I asked them if they wanted me to pray before I left- they welcomed it.

Nursing Student President Problems
hello, i have a problem: i am a pn nursing student that has been elected sna class president. i am extremely honored to have been nominated much less to have won the seat. i am only an average student with my grades, and feel (sometimes) that even the instructors wonder why i was elected. putting that aside, my biggest concern is that everyone seems to make a big deal- such as calling me madam president all the time, or asking me certain questions, and even yesterday i had to leave 2 hours early because i have been fighting a cold all week and had 2 final exams and one of the instructors tried to tell me that i could not leave because i was the president and had to set a good example. i somewhat feel like i am in a fish bowl or something. i mean, i will treat everyone the same and continue to be the best that i can be. so how do i get ppl to understand that it is starting to bother me, or should i expect this to die down soon? i can sense a bit of an attitude from ones that probably didn't vote me in? in fact i didn't even know that i was going to be nominated until 2 days prior from a group of gals.... don't get me wrong, i am honored, i even kind of like, am i just being paranoid???? help!

Class President Problems
hello, i am a nursing student that has been elected class president for the sna. my problem is: too many people are making a big deal, like calling me madam president, and making comments to the fact that i am president. i suppose that it bothers me sone because i am a student just like them, my grades are only average, and i only ran because a handful of students nominated me. i am extremely honored to have been nominated and having a chance in the election- but was shocked that so many had voted me in. i think (sometimes) even the instructors wonder why.... i want to be a good president, and to continue to be involved with this aspect of nursing school, but how do i get ppl to stop making such a big deal out of it? its almost as if i am in a fish bowl or something. for instance, i have been fighting a cold all week and i needed to go home yesterday afternoon because i could barely hold my head up, and one of the instructors said," you can't go home you are the president and have to set a good example." i understand her concern, but again i am only human...... plz help me rationalize this! thank you in advance, cw
