Are you seriously using those as an excuse to not do help do patient care ????. Let me guess you are lpn and only ever worked in LTC ????. Yeah, never go work in a big hospitals please ???. My nurses do their med passes and still helped with their patient care. I got floated to a unit last night who didn’t have tech for most of the night. The nurses had done their med passes and had bathed the patients, change them all night long. Even after I arrived they still were doing their own patient care mostly . I got their vitals and the nurses still helped me with their two assist patients. One nurse even told me I know your the only CNA so I already changed my people by myself. So what happens if you walk in and have no CNA’s you going leave your patients wet ?

Patient care is everyone job. Nurses need to stop think their sole role is do med pass. I had nurse delegate to me and then go sit on their butt and watch a movie.

Don’t be that nurse!! Honestly, taking someone to the bathroom is not going put you behind on a med pass. If it does sounds like you need more training. We seriously had RN that refused to even stop get a patient juice and none of techs wanted to work with her.
