I want to be an RN, I've done so much research and I'm sure it's the perfect job for me. I'm just wondering if I can do that while having my cats. It seems like it would be fine considering that I've left my two cats for a week with lots of food and water and they've been completely fine. From what I know, nursing is 4 12 hour shifts a week, meaning I'd be able to come home and give them what they need just fine. Cats also don't typically have a lot of health problems either, hence why they live so long. I am just wondering from a nurse's experience, have you had challenges having a cat as a nurse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jan 9, 2018 by pixierose Well, I have kids as well as a cat. Everyone has survived so far. I don't think the cat even notices I'm gone. My teens, they notice. Most of the time. I'm not sure you have much to worry about. Then again, I'm more of a dog person ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jan 9, 2018 by pixierose Nobody should have cats. I think it's pretty much widely understood that they're evil, stealing a babe's breath as they sleep and eating you as soon as they're able. Dogs, though ... everyone should have a dog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jan 9, 2018 by brownbook I just spewed water all over my keyboard. I don't even care if this post is a troll, I love it. Honestly I thought it was going to be about patients being allergic to cats, and the poster was worried about having cat hairs on her clothing. I am so gullible. My cat even broke my cell phone, sad but true, too long a story to post here. I had to go to therapy afterwards. :(. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably figuring out the best way to trip you. Then you couldn't call for help. Then the cat would eat you. A dog wouldn't break your phone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jan 9, 2018 by ruby_jane A dog wouldn't break your phone. Or if the dog broke/chewed/peed on the phone the dog would at least look remorseful... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
