first off iam not a troll i was sort of attacked for having an opinion about obviously a sensitive issue so i reacted. All u nurses need to lighten up all i did was ask a question how rude could u all be whoppe do i think feces is disgusting. Only nurses would say otherwise good for u for being so proud of cleaning after people. Applause! I think ill leave this forum now im sorry i ever posted anything on here.

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

Im sorry if I offended you but the fact is the only reason that I said it was gross was because I asked and i was told it was. Also it is no secret the type of menial tasks nurses have to do VS the doc. The thing is I knew RN did have to do these tasks but I wasnot sure whether the CNA also had to deal with that.

no the thread is for real its just annoying how people like to discourage others but guess what there is nothing anyone can say to me. Everyone can worry about their careers or future careers not mine thanks again. By the way either people have a comprehension disorder or they cannot read I never said that in medicine there is not gross stuff all I said was that compared to nursing there is alot alot less. I also do not know if people are aware that there are alot of specialties where the gross factor is alot less than in nursing. Why the hell is everyone jumping on me all I did was ask a simple question do not answer it if you are offended.

okay once again I did not say medicine is not gross but as a career it is not as gross as nursing. Like you said there are many type of doctors and alot of them do not have to deal with the gross factor compared to nurses. Jesus I dont understand people on this forum I ask one question and my head is almost bitten off first in the school nursing forum then here. I am sorry if I offended any one but the fact of the matter is nursing deals with alot more gross things than Medicine. Thanks for totally ignoring my question to defend nursing.

Also may I add I do not think it is your place to decide what career i should pursue obviously i understand what medical entails if not I would have not endured 3 yrs as a premed conducting research and what not. I came on this board seeking advice on what a cna does not what I should do with my life. THank u anyway but maybe u r the one who does not know what medical school entails vs. what MD duties are.

bergren to answer your question yes I understand what medical school entails. ex: Gross Anatomy I know is a big gross factor but one thing is to dissect a cadaver and another is to wipe feces or what not. From what I understand the wiping of fluids and feces are done by the nurses not the doctor. So gross factor will be something I will have to worry about during the first 2 years of med school if not less.

thank u I have to agree with u about choosing another volunteer position being a cna is not for me too much going on in terms of gross factor, It would be really helpful if u gave me some suggestions.

thank you for clarifying that for me I guess i will not volunteer as a cna its just too gross for me one of the main reasons I chose to go to medical school instead of nursing school is the gross factor. thanks anyway. By the way does any one know of volunteer opportunities that enables me to have patient interaction without the cleaning of feces.

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
