Please Encourage Each Other

As my granddaughter would say; "How Rude"... I belong to two quilting clubs and no matter what I show, and mind you my stuff is not always that great, everyone is always so kind and claps... Wonderful people in both clubs.

Can someone please tell me what the remark about nurses really means. I have never heard that before and just don't understand it at all. Nurses are wonderful people and do so much to help us when we need it and to look after us the way they do.
Please tell me. I didn't think I was so slow but I really don't know what the remarks mean.
Thank you in anticipation. lol Gleniveve

Why Nurses Eat Their Young…
A look at nurse-to-nurse hostility and why it occurs.
A Q&A with Kathleen Bartholomew, RN, MN, author of "Ending Nurse-to-Nurse Hostility: Why Nurses Eat Their Young and Each Other"
A man walked past a few kids with a bucket of sea crabs. One of the crabs was crawling to the top of the bucket, so the man told the boys to get a lid. “Mister, you don’t know anything about crabs,” the boys said. “As soon as that crab gets to the top, the others will pull him right back down. Never fails.”
The expression “nurses eat their young” comes from this story, and it isn’t all that far from the truth. It might sound like your unit—where you feel constantly pulled down by your peers’ cutting remarks, backstabbing, and eyebrow-raising. Kathleen Bartholomew, RN, MN, author of Ending Nurse-to-Nurse Hostility: Why Nurses Eat Their Young and Each Other, speaks on why nurses can’t seem to help each other rise to the top.

Thank you bluejeanqueen. I sort of know what you mean but I am still not sure exactly. Do you mean they try to put each other down or do the ones in charge have favourites. I must be having a bad day. I have never come across this or even heard of it before. Does this happen in Australia? Not sure who I am today -- Dumb or Dumber. I thought that most people who worked together got along well together. Thanks for trying to explain it to me. Gleniveve

The quilts that aren't 'perfect' have just as much of the quilter in them as the prize winning ones. IMHO.
