...not one that debated religion with you while you were recovering from a spleenectomy, just a nurse that you happened to know is also an atheist. This is a nurse who is caring for you, by the way.

It show's the nurse is intelligent so that would be a good thing.

It shouldn't matter what the nurse believes as long as he or she know's how to be a nurse. How does religion help you at all at performing your duties as a nurse? What's the difference between them being an atheist or believing in a different religion than the patient?

Why should that matter? Is she qualified to do her job? Does she do it well? If the answer is yes to the above questions, then she's qualified. Does her race matter? Her sexual orientation?
The only thing that matters is her job performance. Since being an atheist has no influence on her ability to do her job, it is perfectly acceptable for her to hold any kind of religious beliefs she choses. If I'm sick, I don't care if my doctors or nurses are atheists, satanists, wiccans, whatever. They can worship a photograph of Dick Clark for all I care. I just want them to know what they're doing.

I've spent a lot of time with nurses recently (a birth and 2 deaths and an operation) and not once has their religion mattered to me. The incredible variety of ethnicities in our hospitals is one of the best examples of integration I know.

That's a true nurse who's taking care of ill people with love regardless the patient's religions
Religion is a poison

I wouldn't care what religion or lack thereof the nurse was as long as it didn't interfere with the care given.

A nurse's religious beliefs (or lack of them) have no bearing on her skill as a nurse. It's not relevant and none of my business.

What does religion have to do with who's helping me with my Earthly wounds and illnesses? Just show me some certification of medical profficiency, and I'm happy. :P

just because she is an athiest does not mean she is a bad person. her religion has nothing to do with her ability to care for someone
