New Nurse

Published

I have just graduated from nursing school and I was told that I will have to clean patients...I don't mind this but my friend said I will have to clean BM and urine...I am above this and I thought that's what nursing assistants were for...it was their choice to become a nursing assistant and if they don't have the brains to be a RN then they should do this...am I right to think this?

Wow.... Some things never cease to amaze me... I was a CNA for 13+ years before I became a nurse and I have to say, even now, nothing, and I mean nothing is "beneath me". I have always told my aides that I will never ask them to do anything I wont do myself, and I stay true to that. Basic care is nursing 101, and shame on you for posting something in such bad taste. Wouldn't want you on my team for anything. Nor would I want you to care for me or my loved ones or friends. Unreal....

You're not funny. In fact, you're really kind of a jerk.

Sorry but it was a bad joke...I have had a terrible problem creating my account and I was using the words of one of the clinical students...I was a nursing assistant for

5 years before I received my BSN and only typed this to see if anyone would reply...I love reading all subjects on all nurses.com and I finally have an account...sorry for the bad joke.

It's really sad that you think this way. And it is unfortunate that you call yourself a nurse because you, and others like you, give nurses a bad name. I'm not a nurse yet, but I love to help people and I love to love them and care for them. A NURSE is called a NURSE for a reason... we NURSE people.

I think you're trolling here and I've reported you to the moderator. No way you got in to nursing school without understanding the day to day tasks of a nurse. And further no way you would have actually graduated with that kind of attitude about other healthcare workers.
