Thanks for ur reply first. next, how do u clean up , i mean using cotton to clean patients body ( private parts) ? next the poop in the bed pan , how do u remove the poop from the pan ( the poop sticks to the pan so how u remove the poop from the pan to the commode ? ).... Next, is there any specialty in nursing that has little dealing with poop and urine ? Do u wear gloves to clean?
Thank u all for ur replies in advance. i feel grateful to u all.
It sounds like you may have a very naive and narrow view of what nursing involves. You should shadow a nurse during her/his shift. And for most - if not all - accelerated programs, you need to have a previous bachelor's degree.
And - yes - all RN's in bedside nursing (associate's, bachelor's or master's even) have to deal with bodily fluids.

Pardon me for asking, but do you have a fascination with bedpan contents?
Even if you are well-meaning, your questions are bizarre. I doubt anyone will provide you with a response regarding your specific poop/pee questions. If you have an A or B (or whatever) in biology, you should be able to figure these simple things out. You bathe and toliet yourself daily, right? Not much different than that.
Again, if you truly want to find the answers to these questions, shadow a nurse during their shift.

Yes, there are (e.g., management), however to get there you will have to make it through nursing school and most likely other areas of nursing that require total patient care.
Pp have given you good advice - shadowing a nurse would be a good idea.
Good luck!

Dashing, I know that I answered one of your questions in another post of yours, and I REALLY want to reiterate: you really need to take the time and research nursing. All nurses clean up after bowel movements, urine, vomit, blood and through your training, you WILL come into contact with bodily fluids on a daily basis. All nurses do. Unless you are in advanced practice, this is not something that you can get out of. You seem to have a rather skewed view of nursing. As I said in my other post, PLEASE, PLEASE take some time to research all that a nurse does rather than make a decision because it's November 2006. You also need to search your motives on WHY you want to become a nurse. Just curious, why do you want to become a nurse? And why does it have to be NOW?

Hi Everybody,
Im New To This Site. I Have A Bs In Biology And Thinking For Absn ( Accelerated BSN) . I Have A Question, What Exactly Is The Duty Of A Rn ( Who's Done Absn) . Does She/he Need To Clean The Urine/stool Of Patient Too ? Or They Just Check The Vitals, Give Medicine, Start Drip, Manage Ivs, Manage Injections ? Is It All A Rn With Accelerated Bsn Do? Please Help.
Thanks
