  1. Gender Appropriate Graduation Gifts

    vashtee replied to jbrick's topic in Men in Nursing

    High quality shoes! He's gonna be on his feet for a lot of hours! He might also appreciate scrubs that don't look like his nursing school

  2. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

    vashtee replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    Nice goal, but it isn't realistic. I have friends whose mortgages are

    vashtee replied to texasmommy's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest, I wouldn't have blamed him. An employer can't be forced to hire someone who isn't available to work the hours they are needed, but they can't fire someone for religious reasons. This...

    vashtee replied to texasmommy's topic in General Nursing

    I have never heard of a single case where anyone got sued for religious discrimination for not hiring someone who was unwilling to work the necessary hours. Can you? As far as I know, it can only be...

  7. Shabbos/Religious Observances

    vashtee replied to texasmommy's topic in General Nursing

    As was previously pointed out, any person who wants any day off for any reason at all has the right to try to negotiate that with the employer. If it is absolutely necessary to an employer that a...

  8. Getting along with classmates??

    vashtee replied to toreyjane's topic in General Students

    If we have any of this sort of stuff going on in my class, I don't notice it... who has time? I have too much work to get

  9. Shabbos/Religious Observances

    vashtee replied to texasmommy's topic in General Nursing

    Preferring not to work is not the same thing as being unwilling to work on the Sabbath (except in an emergency). Very devout people will often decline a position that would require them to routinely...

  10. Too old for nursing school?

    vashtee replied to Sassy66's topic in Nursing Career

    I hope you aren't too old... I just turned 42, and I am in nursing school! (There are three women who are older than me in my

    Here's an interesting link about the rescue. http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/january/5/newsid_4071000/4071661.stm Israel wanted to rescue the Jews in particular because they were...

    This is true of the Orthodox and Conservative movements, but not the Reform (the largest US denomination) or the Reconstructionists. EDIT: moot point, since you are a Christian now.

    vashtee replied to texasmommy's topic in General Nursing

    I think people should be allowed to get whatever they can negotiate in to their contract. If that means Monday nights off for football, fine by me. Sundays off for church? No problem. Shabbat?...

    ^ Exactly why I doubt they understood the value of hand-washing. Seems coincidental to me. Whatever the reason, it doesn't seem to matter at this

  16. Shabbos/Religious Observances

    vashtee replied to texasmommy's topic in General Nursing

    It's true that these are healthy practices, but if health were the primary consideration, why wouldn't the bible just simply say "wash your hands and don't eat pork because you will be

    Meaning no disrespect to any Jewish women of earlier generations, but many of the women of my mother's generation grew up with knowledge of how to do Jewish traditions, but not necessarily why they...

    vashtee replied to texasmommy's topic in General Nursing

    yes, this is the way i learned it from my rabbi, too. any interpretation that connects to health concerns are merely speculation. no one knows for sure why the laws exist - only that they

    vashtee replied to texasmommy's topic in General Nursing

    You may have missed where it was said that a person must always act to save a life. In the event that the original poster was presented with a life or death situation on the Sabbath, I have no doubt...

    vashtee replied to texasmommy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not angry... I am just mystified that a religious person might be called "immoral" for trying to negotiate a compatible work

  22. Shabbos/Religious Observances

    vashtee replied to texasmommy's topic in General Nursing

    So? For the few sects that WOULD forbid it, I am pretty sure no one would call them "immoral". Rather, they would probably be labeled "pious" or

  23. Shabbos/Religious Observances

    vashtee replied to texasmommy's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, to consider someone "immoral" because they want to observe a religious commandment is rather extreme. I doubt very much any Orthodox Jew would object to a religious Christian refusing to work on...

    Texasmommy isn't an employee, and this isn't a disaster. She doesn't have enough training to save a life (yet). She would only be a student. Perhaps she should concentrate on one hurdle at a

    Blee - I intend to bring this up with the dean of nursing when I am closer to completing the program, not so much for myself, but on behalf of younger and more timid students who may not feel...
