I have been put in a similar position before. The choice is not easy but it is a CHOICE. One can walk away from doing evil.

I had to make a choice, but not about abortion, I was assigned to ICU. With no proper training in all the equipment that is used, I refused and the director of nurses for the afternoon shift told me it was no different than any other floor. After I got done laughing, I suggested she pull a nurse from the step down unit outside of the ICU or someone from telemetry and I would be glad to fill that spot...If I was to be sent anytime to ICU you better be prepared to give me a 3 day inservice on all equipment including those used RCU...(Resp. critical care unit. I was sent to telemetry with I was familiar with...Just like those nurses in L & D will not pull from other floors, they will call in one of their own if they are short staffed...If I had been told to go there or go home, it would have been home...patients in the ICU deserve nurses that don't have to think about how a new machine works...

Well, you obviously are one of those rare individuals without sin. Congratulations!
