J. Bailey, RN

In the four months I've been an RN, I've learned a very important lesson; watch out for you and yours. The hospital is in this game for the money, make no mistake. If they could get away with paying you less and making you do more, they would. Pat...

I'm not sure why people are under the impression night shift is easier than day shift. If anything, it is harder since they majority of the docs and ancillary staff aren't there. I do it for the extra pay since I only make $19.03 an hour base pay.

I graduated in May of 08 and started working in June of 08 on an Advanced Care Unit. I work straight night shift and try to work 52-60 hours per week. I prefer night shift as the docs aren't there. If they try and stick me back on day shift I'll f...

I apologize for getting off topic and will speak no more on the subject.:nuke:

we believe in one god, the father, the almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. we believe in one lord, jesus christ, the only son of god, eternally begotten of the father, god from god, light from light, true go...

we are entitled to our opinions based on fact, not the liberal media's interpretation.

Exactly right and that isn't wrong. I did say I would find someone who could or would. If I am uneducated about something, I will not wing it and hope for the best. I am a Roman Catholic and educated about Catholicism, not Islam, Judisim, ect.

I can't argue with the Holy Father. I think you have the wrong idea of what I am talking about though. I don't read scripture between assessments, I don't introduce myself as a Crusader with chalice and patent in hand, nor do I have Roman Catholic o...

No, no, and no. :) “Christ is the author of our profession.” -Florence Nightingale Christianity has been with this profession since the beginning. Christians are called to spread the good news of Christ in all things we do. Our faith doesn't stop at...

"There's an interesting irony to this story. After a little research I came across a quote about the famous saying. It is from someone who had been a Franciscan monk for 28 years-and had earned an M.A. in Franciscan studies. He contacted some of the ...

great post, says exactly what i have been saying. if your trying to prove me wrong i believe your mistaken. i never said i would deny care to anyone. :)

Goodnight all. May almighty God bless you all, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

I can't meet the spiritual needs of someone of a different religion and I certainly wouldn't "fake it".

Don't assume Babs, it makes an......you know. I would care for an HIV patient or a woman with 100 abortions the same way I care for every other patient; in the image of Christ the healer. I would have happily prayed with the child. If the child want...

Your a card carrying member of the NRA, that we do have in common. Start a thread on firearms in nursing, something we can agree on.

I wouldn't treat you any differently than a Roman Catholic priest, other than reading your religious texts. I don't see how you could possibly be offended.

Nobody has said anything demeaning to you Stanley, what are you taking offense too and what have I "handed you?"

I can't leave my faith outside anything. It is who I am. I haven't met many non Christian nurses, and please don't think I look down on non-denominational Christianity. The Roman Catholic Church works hard at Christian unity.

I'll respectfully disagree with you Babs. :)

Yes, Jesus was Jewish, but Jesus said that He alone is the way to salvation. He didn't leave any wiggle room their. You either believe in Him and accept Him or you don't. Before Christ left this earth He gave the keys of heaven to Saint Peter and b...

I'm sorry Babs, but I won't compromise my faith in order to please someone else. I serve one God, and He is a very jealous God. I would never be disrespectful to a patient, but I would not perform nor read a book from anything other than Christiani...

And I love you both. :) I haven't had one complaint thus far. I believe their is a misconception in Christianity that Christ is your way to salvation, but someone else might find a different path. It doesn't work that way and I would be doing a g...

I am a Roman Catholic first, a Husband and Father second, and a Registered Nurse third. My faith is at the center of my life. I believe Jesus Christ is who He said He is. Therefore I believe He is the one and only path to salvation. Regardless of...

Many Registered Nurses do not understand what they can and can't do. I believe this is why our profession is taking so long to come full circle. We are licensed, just as a doctor. We have a different scope of practice though. If you want to hang...
