  1. Horseshoe I don't know if I have exactly stated I will do such and such. Now that you mention it however, I might just draw my bottom line. I said before that I did not think it right to call a...
  2. Help! I look young!

    I understand what you mean. I worked in retail while in CNA school and people thought I was 13 or just entering high school. I am 19. I find when I wear my hair down, people think I am younger. It...
  3. Thank you! I will try to be more careful. Since my faith makes up the most part of who I am, it can be hard to separate the
  4. I beg to differ, but it is not possible. Someone who defiantly breaks the laws that the LORD God set in place is not a Christian. A Christian is a person who has surrendered their entire life and will...
  5. I don't think that the justification for transgender not being a choice works. There are other choices in life that also have risks and it does not mean that the person was what the chose from the...
  6. It is interesting to see what things are allowed today under the guise of scientific explanations. I wonder what other issues will be scientifically approved in a couple of years.
  7. I cannot say that my mindset is formed by living in the South. I came from overseas when I was little, lived in the North and the South and am looking to go overseas again. My convictions are my own,...
  8. Even though I cannot agree with you, I like the way you went about your reply. I prefer factual information. I just wanted to know how nurses who may not agree with transgender views would go about...
  9. Actually, I am not indignant. I just want to know if I will ever have a chance at nursing here in the U.S. Yes, there are Biblically right and wrong laws. Aside from that, I was trying to point out...
  10. So basically you are saying that to succeed in nursing, I must believe the same as everyone else? I have taken a nursing diversity class and it had nothing about transgender people in it. Really, to...
  11. I only responded as such because Farawyn made a strong statement that God made people cross gender and gay. I have already stated that I am not going to push my beliefs on patients or others unless...
  12. I am sorry, I really should not rant unless asked to. I just had to respond to Farawyn. Would you all like for me to continue, or leave this thread. I don't want to lose my cool......or cause others...
  13. Farawyn I am sorry, if you read your Bible, men were created to be men, and women were created to be women. When the LORD mentions transgender and gay people, it is for judgment on their sin. Genesis...
  14. JESSICA QUIGLEY You know, delivery truck driving is not that bad. Except I cannot see to drive!!!!! Oh well, I will just try to survive nursing
  15. In answer to jadelpn Actually, I do my best to obey the Bible and God's leading as a whole. Though it is not relevant to this topic, I do wear dresses. I do cover my head. I do wear...
  16. I know its not about me. If it was, I would never have gone into nursing. But I would like to know if there is any place in healthcare for nurses to have their own convictions. I am not talking about...
  17. Compromise is easy. Just one word....and everything will be great? I can be compassionate without compromise. And not even saying that such a matter would come up. If the patient can be understanding...
  18. Thank you Here.I.Stand, Like I said, I am going to treat everyone with compassion. I am at the point right now where these issues are coming up in nursing school. I am just trying to learn how to deal...
  19. To dudette10, midazoslam I do not think it will harm a transgender person to be addressed as who they really are. No more than I think it would be ridiculous for me to be offended if someone told me I...
  20. I have never dealt with this, but even though I can show compassion and service to many different kinds of people, I would have a very hard time supporting people with such a choice. I could care for...
  21. Why do nurses seem to have a bad reputation?

    I am not too much affected by the stereotype because I know I do not fit it and that is that. However, I think because nurses are the most trusted profession, anything they do is magnified even more....
  22. Unwanted 'diagnosis'!

    You know, herbalism may have its quirks, but I think it is wrong to throw the baby out with the bathwater, so to speak. My great-grandmother was diagnosed with bone cancer and several other issues....
  23. Procedure on this? Nurse and her abuser

    OP, I was never abused, but I was harassed by a customer in retail. He had done it a couple of times to other employees and then to me about three times. By harassment I mean very much the...
  24. advice needed

    I have only seen one side of the story, but has anyone ever read Silas Marner by George Eliot? Sounds kind of
