Unbelievable. I work in a level one trauma hospital. We are understaffed, underpaid and overworked. We can be cleaning up a patient who has pooped himself. Page housekeepers to clean the room and they won't touch it. There is a medium size poop on the bed so the nurses have to clean it to first. Even though, housekeeping has the supplies to clean stool. This is so wrong in so many ways. Team work! I guess it has to do with Unions. But why is everything an RN's job

Honest too god! I have never been so frustrated. We as nurses in a level one trauma center are so overworked, understaffed and underpaid. But still expected to perform duties that fall under other services. I’m busy cleaning up the psychiatric patient that pooped the bed. Housekeeping comes in and says we don’t clean poop up you have to do it. But I’m busy with my other 8 patients. And I’m cleaning up the one with poop. No we don’t clean up poop. So the understaffed, overworked, nurse cleans up the *** first
