Well, yes, sometimes when you administer an enema, it just so happens to be enough stimulation to NOT NEED the enema!!

That's one of the things I liked about NICU. Yes, I cleaned up poop etc. -- but it was little poop, not big poop.
whats NICU ??

This is hilarious! I will never forget the time I was telling my grandmother about my job.... She is 67, perfect health, and a little snooty. When i was telling her about my job, my grandfather chimed in and started about how he was in the hospital his roomate need to be "cleaned up" very often. My grandmother wrinkled her face, looked at me and said..."you don't have to do THAT do you?"
LMAO it was so funny! who does she think does "THAT"?!! She thought I didn't have to clean people's bottoms....:rotfl:

I'd much rather change a poopy diaper or wipe a patient's butt than be forced to deal with 5 newly admitted patients that are being sent to me all at once.
Poop is better than stress. . .

You will during nursing school clinicals. You will if you choose to work in an acute care or long - term care facility.
You might be able to escape this fate if you work in the community or doctor's office.
lol funny
