Want to be a nurse, just no butt wiping or other yucky stuff please

Published

Just a heads up to inquiring people who read this site. Nursing involves butt wiping, blood, snot, urine, etc. An RN by your name doesn't mean others deal with yucky realities of patient care.

Also, you will likely have to pay your dues job wise. You probably won't waltz into your dream job straight out of school. And, whatever job you get, you WILL work your rear end off.

That's the CNA's job. Definitely below me or any other nurse to be doing that.

Thankfully, most nurses would disagree with you on that.

Hopefully you never get sick and have a nurse who thinks helping you to the toilet is below him/her.

If that ever happened (which it won't because I am invincible) and a nurse tried to help me with that, I'd respectfully tell them that they are above that and they should be getting a CNA to do that. I would then tell the nurse that they should be hiding playing candycrush while the CNA does the work.

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life. You just have to laugh lol. Clearly a joke post.

I once overhead a nurse say to a tech once, "You see the "RN" on my badge? Go to room 123 and clean him up." I was flabbergasted.

Which is why anyone believe you are a nurse and not....who the heck knows?....is kidding themselves. You are not, however, fooling everyone ;)

I do wonder what happened in your life to not only give you this view of nursing, but make you want to come here and impersonate one? And with such oddly specific interests: ADLs, hygiene matters, and Candy Crush, exclusively.

Newbie posters, take note. Imposters do lurk here.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I take the opportunity to "out" imposters wherever they skulk, so that others might avoid the trap if possible. And that includes this one.

Unfortunately, there are still people who believe this to be an actual nurse. As I've said before, it's also a BEAUTIFUL example of why no one should ask an anonymous message board for an interview with a nurse, in an online setting. You never know.....what.....may respond.

Ha! Well, they do add a bit of eye-rolling certainty whenever he shoes up!

HONESTLY! The very BEST thing we can do is IGNORING baiting posts! Don't feed it.
