  3. Eat Before You Get Here!

    Betty_SPN_KS replied to NurseJacqui's topic in Emergency

  8. Religion's Place in Nursing

    Betty_SPN_KS replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    As for passionate Christian believers wanting to "correct ignorance", etc., maybe I can help some understand the reason. There are some admonitions in the Bible (I'm too lazy to look them up now, but...

  12. Religion's Place in Nursing

    Betty_SPN_KS replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think the influence of Christianity and the history of nursing went hand in hand. Today it's very individual. But according to what we were told in school, before Christianity came along, women...

  13. Religion's Place in Nursing

    Betty_SPN_KS replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    In a way, I understand. I used to be part of something that didn't celebrate the holidays, either. Now I tend to believe this is a "personal conviction" area (though I may be wrong). Before that I...

    Betty_SPN_KS replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure we're getting anywhere with all the arguing. But people can express their views. I am a struggling believer. So I must try to understand both sides (Christian v non-Christian). But I'm not...

    Betty_SPN_KS replied to L&D_RN_OH's topic in Ob/Gyn
