Anytime I need to do a "gross" job I'm just very thankful I'm not the receiver of the service...😌

Hey man it’s crazy how I’m currently going through something very similar to what you went through. I’m 24 and starting nursing school next week and just became a cna a month ago. I was a grocery store stocker for a few years and now my first experience in healthcare was honestly a huge shock to me, being a nursing assistant is a tough job, bedside nursing in general is tough and me being a male they tend to put me with the heavier/difficult patients. To the point where I almost lost my passion and drive to be a nurse despite all the hard work I put into getting into nursing school, and how much I wanted to be a nurse and help others. I’m glad there’s others who have similar stories to me and I’m not going to let this get in the way of my goal and getting my BSN

I planned on becoming a nurse practioner in 1993 but ended up divorced before I got to take my nursing classes. I ended up becoming a medical Coder but always wanted to be a nurse.My dad ended up bedridden and having to change his diaper and it was rough. Not only because he was my dad but the smells. It's no problem now plus I am able to take care of him. Home health and hospice cnas and rns taught me so much. God bless ya!

[@NurseBass]

Great testimony. Sorry to hear about your father but happy to hear you're able to contribute to his care and it's meaningful :)

This is such a good video! Thank you ☺️

[@caligurl8770]

Thank you for the videos

[@carolinabycarolina8451]

It’s so true! I felt the exact same way. Still as a new grad I feel that way with certain things. It’s part of the growth. Thanks for this video it was great. Kinda made me emotional to know I wasn’t the only one and that many will be able to relate.

[@NurseBass]

Yes, you're definitely not alone. It's an abnormal experience for most adults, and it takes getting used to :)

[@s.coleman7352]

Yes true honesty. Thanks!

[@NurseBass]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@jeremiahokoh420]

Nurse bass thanks man I apperitate your video you push me. am allready feeling that way but it haven't happen to me yet. am 25 male still taking the prequesite classes. I know am going to feel that way one day I have never work in health care. Am trying to become a caregiver and actually see how it's done. Now how where you able to deal with all that your very first time? Your mind telling you if this is what I wanna really do? How do you deal with that thought?

[@NurseBass]

I kind of just had to do it, without thinking too much about it. Afterward, it was kind of a shock and weird to think that this is a normal part of the job. But eventually I got used to it. I got over that feeling by realizing just how much hard work and sacrifice I had put out in order to pursue this profession. And if I was going to let something as small as cleaning poop stop me in my tracks, then the career wasn't for me I suppose :)

[@theman3443]

Almost done I got 4 more weeks, and this week my patient had 6 solid stools the 8 hours I was there and yes I had to clean him up!! 😅

[@NurseBass]

Haha, I feel you there! One time I had a patient taking bowel prep the night before a procedure. A stool per hour that night. 12 hour shift...lul

[@DabidRobinson]

I don't remember the first time I did this but... I have many of stories of me doing it lol

[@NurseBass]

Hahaha 💯

[@bnjmnlmbrt18]

Good video but the constant camera transitioning is a bit over the top and annoying to watch

[@NurseBass]

Yeah idk what I was thinking back then with that edit
