I'm having a hard time believing that picture/story is not a hoax. My girls were born premature and lived in a NICU for awhile. There was never a time when they were not hooked up to things, not clothed well and never would there have been less than three people in the room. I can see the odds of one retarded NICU nurse, but 3??? Even if it's a small hospital and there's only 2 people in the room at the time I just can't imagine this being possible. My girls were never more than a few feet from their beds. You don't take out IV and take off monitors and stuff. It's a nightmare getting them set up in the first place!

Snake .... I know you are a level headed person, so I won't blow up at you like I would anyone but a baby or child in danger. I don't know if you have kids or not, but what she did was a Breach of Ethics.

First of all, a baby is born with a head that is too large for the neck muscles to support. That why you always cradle a baby's head. Even though she is offering the baby some support, that is no way to handle a baby. If that baby happened to lean forward by some odd chance, that child could have suffer a severe neck/spinal injury that could have even lead to it's death.

Second and most important, even though there were no tubes or hoses attached to the baby, show that the baby was in duress, a preemie need to be in a sterile environment as much as possible because it's immune system is very weak. That's why they usually wear gloves and mask in the NICUs. It doesn't take much, for a germ to get into that child's system. That's one of the reason they always recommend that infants drink breast milk. Since they don't have the antibodies to protect them, they can get them for mother's milk and be protected by her antibodies which is passed through the mother's milk

What this nurse did as a professional, is reprehensible and irresponsible. She knows better. Even if nothing happens to the child, her picture proves malpractice. Negligent malpractice is grounds for losing your licence, which if she loses, terminates her employment. Even though I don't beleive in suing, I think the parents should on grounds to protest other innocent babies. It's no longer a matter of money, either.

i'm gonna agree with Snake. unless someone can prove there was actual harm (and i don't mean just cuz you have kids that makes you an expert), it seems to me that it's just a dumbass thing to do. nothing more.

Fire

The baby is a preemie.. should be in an incubator with high flow O2, not in a nurses pocket so she can clown around to her friends..

A preemie's lungs are not developed enough to be in a vertical position like that.. easy for fluid to settle in the lungs..

Fire her for getting caught. If you're going to do stupid shit don't let anybody find out. Other than that, fuck it. She's been a nurse for 13 years and obviously knows what she's doing. If the kid had died it'd be a different story but it didn't.

Also, why the fuck have they blurred the baby's face? All babies look the same, not to mention the fact that in a year or two it'll look completely different.

She did a stupid thing and needs to pay for her stupidity. Just goes to prove, the "Smarter Sex", MY ASS.

Count me in with not getting the big deal at first. But that is bc I have no relative understanding of how fragile preemies can be or about babies in general.

I say fire her for objectifying a patient.....then let the medical experts decide the rest of her punishment (ie, loss of license, criminal record, lawsuit) depending on how much at risk medically she put the kid.

Looks like it has been awhile since this story was posted- any updates?
