I am an ER nurse and I am also Catholic. All I can say is don't work at an abortion clinic or something like that. Also no matter where u work there will be things u don't agree with etc.. Rapists, child abusers, all kinds of situations that r hard to handle. But you know we r all humans and its not my place to judge and if u collapsed on the street I wouldn't ask ur beliefs or past before I tried to help you. If the situation is that hard for you then just ask another nurse to swap that room for another. I have done that for others and vice versa. If u think u can pick or chose ur pt population in any unit u r not realistic. Sleep well at night knowing u helped and mayb even made the difference in that person. Leave the judgement to the man upstairs you aren't assisting a procedure. No one deserves to be left in pain or danger because they have different beliefs, made mistakes, or anything else. You have to separate it. My belief about abortion is my business but you need to evaluate what you are doing and why.
