Why do Nurses eat their young?

Unbridled enthusiasm is wearying and irritating to someone who has been doing something for a long time. Just see my math teacher- she has killed anything I ever felt for the subject. :)

I dunno. It's illlogical, since if doctors hate it, they will surely haul children who eat it to give them a check-up or something like that. Hence, naturally, armed with this knowledge, children would not desire to eat it as they assumedly would not want to visit the doctor.

Well mammals hold their young in their wombs for a time (fetus development.....you should know you're a mammal) Females breast feed their young, they mother them, and basically show them the basic instincts they would need to surivie alone. But, all this depends on which mammal you are asking on-some mothers don't do all this with their young

Nurses are wonderful giving people...the deserve more money DEFINITELY.  they should of course be trusted..I trust nurses more than doctors most of the time...I expect nurses to be caring and professional...I've had very few bad experiences from nurses..most of the time they are outsanding.

WARNING: This story is NOT for those with a weak stomach or those with a liking for meat-pies! Please don't let your curiosity get the better of you unless you are sure that the worst things you can imagine will not put you off eating pies for life...\n\nMy first job was as an apprentice baker in a large family run bakery. At first I enjoyed the job, especially as employees were allowed to take home and eat a great number of the bakery's wares. (I personally liked thier meat pies, and would take a dozen or so home each week). I often wondered though why only the new employees were taking advantage of this offer. \nThen one day I changed shifts to work throughout the night, which is when I first discovered that the place was infested with rats. I had seen one or two during the day shift, but they were chased out quickly and I thought little of it, but on the night-shift several of the workers would hunt the rats for sport, and on my second night of working the new shift (while selecting more pies to take home), several of the regular night-workers (including the owners son) managed to catch a live rat. \nWhat happened next stays with me even today...\n\nThe Foreman, egged on by the owners son, took the rat by the tail and dropped it into the mincing machine which ground the meat for the bakery's meat pies! The other workers were lughing and slapping each others backs as the rat was turned into mince-meat, then squeezed out into pie-casings. The pies were then covered, added to the regular meat pies, baked and shipped out to unsuspecting shop owners. \nAfter asking about the frequency of these events I was told that this was a regular occurance, which is why very few workers actually took home the bakery's products. I dropped the pies I had taken in the bin and took the rest of the week off, understandably quite ill after discovering the possible contents of the pies I had regularly been eating and giving to friends and family.\n\nI'm ashamed to say that I didn't report the incident, the wages at the Bakery were extremely high (especially as I was so young) and I needed the money very much. I continued working there for another couple of months, but never took any more products home.\nEventually I was head-hunted by another bakery, and when I took the job I told my new employer of the practices of this bakery. Two weeks later the above mentioned bakery was closed down after a surprise health inspection, and although my new job was with a respected and very hygenic bakery, I still no longer took any products home.\n\nI still eat the occasional pie, but now only eat pies that have no meat in them.\n\nI'm sorry if this story upsets some people, but I can assure you that this sort of thing is VERY rare, I have since worked often in the food industry and have never come across anything even remotely as disgusting as this. \n\nWere I the man I am now when this happened, I would have taken action immediately, but it was my first job, and I wash fresh out of high-school with little knowledge of the world around me. It is my biggest shame that I did not act sooner, but the feeling of regret and self-loathing that I felt for my inaction have been a valuable lesson throughout my adult life, and never again have I stood idly by when my actions could prevent hardships and discomfort for others.

I am not a nurse and can only answer as a mother. I presume that you are asking about keeping the child still in order to give innoculations. For  infants, the nurse encourages the mother to feed the child (breast or bottle )as the nurse prepares the area and give the injection.  Mom holds the child securely in the lap.\n\nFor older children, toddler to 5 or 6 the child is usually held in the lap and distracted as much as possible, but usually is told that this will hurt a little bit. It depends on the child's personality, and usually the parent knows how best to handle thier child.\n\nSometimes more help is needed, but most older children have enough self control and understand that this is for their health.

i am a c.n.a. it is a very rewarding job. it is a very hard job. you deal with young people with head trama to old people who have had a stroke. we do alot of charting; every 2 hr. we do bed checks on them, if the are wet or dirty we change them, we feed them if they are unable to feed them selfs. we give them baths. some of them can do thing on there own, but you will find that most of them can't do anything on there own. the worst part of being a c.n.a. is getting close to someone and then they die. it is really hard, it is like losing a family member. after they die we go in and clean them up, take off their glasses, take out their teeth and lay them on their chest, we close their eye's if they die with them open, and then the morgue will pick them up. you also have some that like to hit, bite, pinch, grab at you. but they don't understand what they are doing, i love my job and would not trade it for anything, but it is no joke. you hold peoples lives in your hand. it is really a lot of hard work. i hope i didn't scare you but i thought you should know all the details. good luck with your choice.

it is great for women to breastfeed their INFANT CHILDREN. The doctors say it's the best thing for a baby, both nutritionally and psychologically.\n\nBut it's possible to have "too much of a good thing" and, frankly, once a kid is old enough to eat baby food, it's time to cut the breast feeding out. \n\nAnd, once the kid is at all conscious of  his mother sexually (and that happens a lot earlier than you might think!) it becomes creepy - and, quite frankly, if the child is male, it's a form of sexual abuse!\n\nA six year old boy, who is fully conscious of what women's breasts are and their meaning in our society, is going to get really screwed up if he's sucking on  his mom's bare breasts several times a day!\n\nThat boy is going to grow up with some seriously warped ideas about women and sex (and will spend years in therapy) as a result.\n\nThat mom is sick for breastfeeding that kid when he's SIX YEARS OLD - she should have stopped when he reached one year or 18 months - two years old at the latest!\n\nHopefully, she doesn't do other inapropriate stuff with her son, like sleeping in the same bed, or touching his private parts on the excuse of "bathing" him or "helping him pee" or "wiping his butt"\n\nYou'd be amazed how much unreported sexual abuse of sons by mothers happens in this society because moms have legitimiate sounding excuses for being innapropriate with their sons - like this sick chick who has her 6 year old sucking her breasts in public!\n\nYou should have called Administration for Childrens Services on that woman! - she has serious issues!\n\nIncidentally, that's why a lot of female kindergarten and first grade teachers do not EVER wear button down blouses to work - you'd be amazed how many kids (especially little boys) will walk right up to the teacher, unbutton her blouse, pull her bra out of the way and start 'nursing' - there are a lot of sick moms out there who don't know when to give the breastfeeding thing a rest!

Most nurses are not "evil demon's." Being a newly graduated nurse myself I see many ornery nurses. Many just get disgruntled with the work place and in particular the people they work for. And in many cases it is just an aggravating patient that causes the nurse to become ill acting!. I still have the good heart, the smile, the "I'm gonna do my patient good" attitude. you must have just gotten a doozy!

Is that like a contract to breast feed somebody elses kid? If so, is there any age limit on the person being nursed?

As a nurse, our duty is to protect our patients, do them no harm, intervene in their behalf for the best care, be their advocate, incorporate them in their care, allow them to choose their care, not to push our beliefs on them, listen, prevent pain, work with other staff to expedite their care and release to home. Having said all of this, we are placed in ethical dilemmas caring for our patients. That is why we watch our own for un-ethical behavior, to prevent harm to our patients. It places health care workers to a higher standard and we must practice what we provide for our patients. There are standards of care established for patients and there are organizations that are paid to keep those standards of care intact like Joint Commission of Hospital Accreditation.

Nurses do not stay in one job, they move. If the pay or benefits are better elsewhere, they will leave, and go there. \nConsider that hospitals in the past were happy to have the experienced, older nurse on staff, and retained their staff until retirement. One reason was cost. A new nurse, just out of school, takes about four years to learn the profession, and her job, and become skilled at it. The money to train a new nurse was well spent, since she would stay until she retired. Now, hospitals look at the bottom line, how much the salary and benefits are costing.  They want cost effectiveness at the basic salary and benefit level. \nThey dump anyone over a certain age, they do not want to pay retirement benefits, and they do not care if the older nurse is there to run the division, and train newer staff.  \nIt has changed the nurse's psychology. They used to dedicate themselves to the hospital, become one with it. Now a job is looked upon as just a stop-gap until the good job comes along.\nThere is a nursing shortage, and it will get worse. No one wants to enter the profession, it costs a lot in time and money to enter it, a lot to practice in it, and the pay, while a little better  than it used to be, is not great. I started as an LPN in 1976. I made $3.62 an hour, with benefits. My cousin took a job as a check-out grocery clerk, the scanner check-out machines were brand new then . She started out at over $7 an hour, with benefits. She had a bachelor's degree, but not in business. She is now a manager for a grocery store, and will be retiring next year, about ten years before she turns 65. She has had no further formal education. I went back to school, got an RN, and I am still a staff nurse, on the division. I do not know what she makes, but considering her lifestyle, a lot more than I do.\nAnother sign of the times is benefits. Used to be, everyone got the same, part time or full time. Now, part timers get less, and hospitals are  less likely to hire full time employees. I wanted full time, can't get it. Now the hospitals offer money for nurses and other jobs to go back to school. Why? It's a benefit, it looks good in the employment brochure, and it is a lot cheaper than paying health care benefits. And it is usually given in exchange for a commitment to work for X many years at that hospital. During that time, the hospital has the nurse at their mercy. If she quits, she has to pay back the money.\nHas this changed the quality of care given by the nurses? No, nurses are still dedicated to the profession, I do not see any more, or any less goof-offs. \nDid it change the quality of care the patient recieves? Yes. In those corporations who dump the older, experienced nurses, and hire younger, less experienced nurses, there is no one to teach the less experienced, no role models, no been there, done that person  to call and ask what is wrong with the patient.\nProbably the biggest problem to patient care is that bottom line. Health care costs are high, the patient does not go to the hospital until they are dying. There is a nursing shortage, and staffing nurse to patient ratios are high because of the shortage, and because of the hospital budget. . There is likely a less experienced nurse there. Patient costs can sky rocket, when that nurse does not know what supplies the patient will need, and brings the wrong things to the bedside. The patient pays for the wrong items as well as the right ones. \nOne new trend. Owning, maintaining, and buying gas for an automobile costs have also sky rocketing. Many nurses are choosing jobs closer to home, taking a cut in salary, knowing it will be at least partially made up in less gas purchases, and less wear and tear on the car. My friend just took a $10 cut in pay to work close to home, for her family's benefit as well as  to cut her driving costs. I chose to look for employment  closer to home, a less than 20 minute drive, as opposed to a 50+ minute drive. I took a $
