Hi and Peace to All

[jodyraye]

This is my first chat group. I'm an American nurse-work in a coronary care unit. I'm a mother of 2 young men. Iwish for peace and harmony to All. How are you?

hey!

welcome to the forum.

are you bangladeshi originally?

[jodyraye]

I am not Bangladeshi--do I have to be to join this discussion? I am a person first, then I am a woman, then I am a Mother, then I am a nurse. I love people, and as a mother and nurse I take care of all kinds of people. I try to relate to the person in as many of the dimensions of human experience as they feel comfortable. When a person is sick they may have to resort to a part of their existance that they may not have been aware of in everyday life. I work with doctors and nurses and others of many varied backgrounds; Americans, Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Christians, Atheists, Agnostics, etc.,etc.. We work together in our effort to take care of those who are sick. Sometimes the only progress we can make is on a character or spiritual level--but perhaps that's the most important thing for them and us. I've read some of the threads and I think religious details are not important. Yet the devil is in the details. Let's just be humans and share life for the betterment of our children. I can't think of one person that I have cared for as a nurse that wasn't human--such an obvious statement, but why can't everyone see it? And it seems the innocent children suffer the most.

hey jody!

sorry, was just asking if you were bangladeshi cos couldnt tell from your username! we have loadsa non-bongis here, so of course you're welcome!

why dont you try posting on some of the other boards, cos guest book gets kinda lonely after a while.... most of the members dont usually look at it.

personals, religion and open forums are usually the most active if ure interested in having a look.

look forward to reading ure stuff!

I know you meant no offense. I just wanted to know the rules if there are some. I will go to some of the other sites--as I mentioned this is my first chat group ever. By the way, one of the other nurses I work with is named Anisa. Her mother is from Asia, her father is Polish. She is a wonderful young, pretty, intelligent and sensitive nurse.
