The bolded part really shows me that you need to re-think your decision to take LPN courses. CNA's aren't the only ones who deal with cleaning patients. Of course, there are those nurses out there who foists eveything unpleasant onto the CNA's, but then again you have those who aren't afraid to get dirty right along with the CNA's.

Take a good hard look at the job ANY nurse does and you will find cleaning patients is part of the job.

I don't think she's saying she wants to become an LPN because she doesn't like cleaning patients. I think she said she chose phlebotomy over CNA work because she prefers blood drawing to giving hygiene. I don't think there's anything wrong with liking some parts of healthcare or of our jobs better than others. We're only human.

:yeahthat: I understand not liking certain aspects of the job, but she took a non-pt care job because of hygeine care, so why get an LVN license? If she truly decided that pt care is what she wants to do, WONDERFUL and welcome to the field, but if she thinks that LVNs don't do hygeine care, this is not the job for her.

Did I spell hygeine right? It looks wrong.
