No one needs an “actual nurse “ to care for a baby properly and lovingly. Sorry to break it to you.
Lots of wonderful loving capable people out there without a degree that can care for a newborn.
OKay then, why are we calling these women "nurses" ? Why aren't we calling them babysitters or nannies? Why are we diminishing an entire profession that now requires a 4-yr degree, state licensure, and a national board exam - by calling random females "nurses" ?
If I need guy to just mow my lawn, I don't ask DCUM for "arborist" recommendations. We don't say we want to hire a veterinarian if what we really want is in-home pet care.
Because I agree with you -- unless your newborn is apneic, you don't need a registered RN to burp your baby so you can avoid waking up in the night.
