    Insistant proselytizing and witnessing is not the same as talking about religion. And BTW, God gave man FREE WILL. Edited to add: If someone asks me about my religion or church, well I work on Sundays...

    About the grocery bagging....where I live they DO hire older women to scan +/or bag groceries. One woman in her mid-70's has TWO jobs, one at a grocery store and one at a drugstore cash-register. So,...

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to Phoenix16, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I ended up going into nursing because I had a job as an NA. When I started working 3-11 at a nursing home, I had no thought in my head that I'd become a nurse. I got a job because my mother said if I...

    I think it can be helpful, in that in my nursing class there were quite a few young women who were ill-at-ease socially +/or shy +/or embarrassed to get personal with a stranger's body. Some overcame...

    I've seen 'bad taste' in clothing, but that's just their personal preference. Only once did I see an NP come into a nursing home sporting ripped-knees-jeans, a tank-top, a lab coat, and high-heel...
