Forward. There's no space in a modern educated society for....oh. IF we were a modern educated society it'd be a step forward as there's no space for this kind of useless mumbo jumbo muddying the waters of advancement.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/8605700.s...
However infecting the uneducated masses that are breeding with religion might be needed in the future...
If I was running the authority I wouldn't have made a fuss (or noticed to be honest)
If was the nurse, I'd have quietly got on with not overtly showing it and worn something hidden or put something in my pocket if I really had a deep belief I wanted something with me to show (presumably God!) that I cared. When whatever middle manager decided it wasn't on left, or moved on it would have sneaked out again.
Therefore, I can't decide either way ! I think it's a lot of fuss over nothing blown up by both sides and the medja.

Well, reading the bit below it appears that the trust did not object to her wearing a smaller chain and/or it in a pocket or whatnot, the restriction appears to have been on safety grounds - to prevent a patient grabbing it and I suppose choking her to death. Therefore, they offered to make adjustments for her to express her religion and therefore didn't fall foul of the discrimination legislation.
It does not mean that any employee can be made to remove religious attire though.

Anyone actually read the article? My other half is a nurse and she just laughed at this. It's absolutely NOTHING to do with relgion or it being a cross, it's standard NHS saftey rules, no necklaces, nothing below the elbow except for a single wedding ring. Very small stud earrings only. It's completely standard and has all been laid down in "law" for years for reasons of safety and infection preventation.
Don't feel sorry for her at all and shame on her for making it a religious issue in the first place. Idiot.
