becoming a cna

hello, I am new to this nursing forum and i have a couple of questions mind u i am a premed student not a nursing student. I was just wondering how do u become a cna and what does the job entail in terms of duties. I ask because I want to volunteer which is a requirement for medical schools and I actually want to have patient interaction not just run errands. Also another thing in terms of gross factor do i have to deal with feces and what not. Thanks I appreciate any of your responses

Its funny how u nurses are so proud of cleaning feces and will jump at anybody who doesnt like the thought of doing that. I have read your posts always talking down to people when the gross factor is brought up. Good for u for loving to clean up after people you should have been a housekeeper obviously this offends many of you I will put this stupid thread to rest. Never again will I post in any of these forums all u guys know how to do is attack people and on top of that u attack people with info that is incorrect get a clue. You've seen a couple of residents do some procedures and u generalize what doctors do and compare it to nursing duties when u know its not the same thing. OHHHHHH you nurses live in lala land. See Ya

INNYC28--

First, the "gross" in gross anatomy doesn't mean "gross" like yucky, you dork, it means gross as in not-microscopic.

Second, who are you to come into a nursing forum, plant yourself out there making arrogant, judgmental remarks and then snap at people who cared enough to actually give you support and encouragement?

I actually DID go to med school (didn't flunk out, either) and have chosen nursing because I enjoy it. You don't seem to care about people in general. Look how you are treating the people on this thread!

Dealing with humanity ought to be the least of your concerns. No matter what field you go into, you won't do as well or give as much, because you don't care about other people.

Since you are here, and since you are talking about volunteering ("because it is a requirement of med school," not because you want to help anyone but yourself), you ought to do yourself and the world a favor and take a little time to become a little bit human yourself.

Please do keep us posted on your progress and location. I for one do not wish to EVER be treated by you or work with you.

I'm sure there's a mutual fund or investment firm looking for a guy just like you.....

How did this thread get into "school nursing" anyway?

Do you suppose Mr. MD2B thought "school nursing" was the same as "nursing school?"

Just wanted to say think you. I was in Med school for 1 year and decided I wanted more Pt. time. So, here I am in my 3rd year of nursing school.

I may someday return to med school but, I will never be like our friend INNYC28. I will say that when I was 20 or so I could not understand the idea of cleaning someone and thinking that it was a thing of respect. As we all know there is something about when a pt looks you in the eyes when they can not speek. You know that they want to say thank you.
