Nursing associations got very upset with people assuming the title of "nurse" when they had no medical training. A significant enough fuss was made that there has been an effort to eliminate the use of the term "baby nurse" among people who are aware of the issue nurses have with that term.
I doubt saying "I'm a baby nurse!" is illegal, but it is certainly incorrect, unless you actually have nursing certification and training. NCS training isn't cheap, but it's good thing to have on your resume if you want to focus on working with infants. There are very few CERTIFIED NCS, simply because that process takes a long time and isn't very easy to accomplish. People who have taken the NCS course successfully refer to themselves as "Trained Newborn Care Specialists". |
