we eat our young because we've never been taught not to.It's also a power rush. For the first time WE have the control over someone else.And it does get passed down form nurse to nurse,I'am not sure why I'am not sure were even aware of it at times.Maybe its a matter of respect.AND YES were even faster to kill older nurses than young ones.WE seem to have a problem supporting one another. No tolerance for anyone who doesn't measure up. I think tolerance is learned,so is supporting one another,so is respect.You'll never hear doctors talk about one another like the way we do about each other. Certainly never in public. To much to do maybe. Not enough time
to look around to see how the other fellow is doing or feeling or stressing, We all need to learn to nurse each other.
