Shabbos/Religious Observances

Nurses General Nursing

Published

As I begin the applications process for nursing schools, I have one huuuuge concern - my religious obligations. I am not permitted to work/attend school, etc. from sunset Friday nights until an hour past sunset on Saturday nights because of the Jewish sabbath. I've heard that a lot of programs have 12hr clinicals on Saturdays...yikes! Has anyone "worked it out" with similar obligations?

lamaze, i didn't see you as throwing stones at all.

it's unfortunate when a post is misinterpreted.

you were fine, very respectful.:twocents:

For the record, hardly anyone uses "shiksa" in an derogatory way anymore. That was more old-school. Nowadays (as evidenced by a Seinfeld episode which involved Elaine's "shiksa appeal") it is merely a descriptive term used for a non-Jewish female, with no malice attached.

"Goy" just means "not Jewish".

You would be surprised how many goy do not understand what a shiksa is. Especially down here on the SW portion of Florida.
