protect our kids

This terrifies me. The idea of having a person like that have their grimy hands on a newborn…

And this leaves out the worst part. They made the baby “dance” to rap music. So at that point you’re endangering the health of the infant – you do not shake babies! – AND being a disgusting racist.

as a nurse myself, I have to say that I don’t want to see them fired. I want to see them fired AND get their licenses permanently revoked and I want some fucking CRIMINAL CHARGES AND JAIL TIME for this shit, and then I want them to go to jail and have to tell the other inmates exactly what they’re there for.

perhaps this is a good time to also add that I work exclusively with disabled children, most of whom are ventilator dependant and require tube feedings, and several who are in this condition because of child abuse in their first months of life–being shaken, thrown against a wall, even attempted to be flushed down a toilet after a premature birth. so to say I’ve got no fucking sympathy for these bitches who are hopefully getting their lives ruined is something of an understatement, because it is EASY to ruin a newborn baby’s entire life with a moment of malicious stupidity like this.

when you work in medicine, whether it’s as a doctor, nurse, aide, or any other positon, you are being entrusted with caring for people in their time of need, when they’re vulnerable and quite often afraid and overwhelmed. you’re being given the responsibility to protect them when they’re fragile or sick or injured, when they cannot fully protect themselves. a nurse’s number one duty, before ANYTHING else, is it’s to BE YOUR PATIENT’S ADVOCATE! it is a privilege to be trusted like that–you are NOT there to play games, take advantage, learn private information to enrich yourself or juicy secrets to entertain your friends, and you’re ESPECIALLY not here to hurt those in your care! this is INEXCUSABLE on every possible level and these monstrous excuses for human waste should never be able to work in any medical field again, EVER.

LOCK. THEM. UP. and throw away the motherfucking key!

Babies can’t even hold their heads up on their own when they’re that young. You have to support their heads if you pick them up. Not that.
