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.

Specializes in Med-Surg, Emergency, CEN.
I wish you well.

Who? .

Specializes in ER.

Another important aspect of nursing I failed to mention: in order to thrive in the profession, butt kissing is also a must. Ego stroking and brown nosing are very useful skills. :nurse:

My initial "Dream Job" was L and D - Talk about a body fluids and waste bonanza - vomit, blood, feces, urine, amniotic fluid and them we have to wipe baby butts too. I still loved every minute of it!
