Nurses,CNAs, or nursing students only:How do you get over by grossed out with cleaning up poop from patients?

Honestly you never really get over it, you just get use to it. BUT REMEMBER as gross as it may seem ALWAYS breath through your mouth. Block off air flow through your nose and breath through your mouth. You cant taste it and you cant smell it Ive been doing this for a while now and you just get use to it.

Hell yeah they are. I work at Dillard's and I have went in there and there be pee, poop or blood on the lid. There are nasty ass women as well as men!! If you notice as you go from the first stall to the last they get worse as you go along!

Don't you hate that?????\n\nI work with some one who has a chronic cough and it annoyed me so much, that I would ask him, "are you ok" or "are you sick again?"\n\nI have even gone as far as saying, "oh no........coughing still? I am a germ freak and can not stand it any longer, can you go home?" And that person packed up their stuff and left for about 2-3 days or so and when they returned they were not coughing that much any more, because they got some cough medicine from the doctor.\n\nAnother thing that I like to say when people cough and sneeze is, "DID YOU COVER????? I do not want to get sick!" That usually puts a cap on things too.\n\nI hate that coughing crap, especially when you are on the phone and the other person on the line, stops what they are saying, so that they can listen to my coughing neighboor.\n\nIt is so embarrassing!!!!!

Look, I know you have a sh*tty job that doesn't pay you sh*t but there are some pretty sh*itty people in this world that appreciates all the sh*t you go through to make their sh*tting experience a clean one, just try not to take to much sh*t because you will end up flushing your life down the drain!!!!!!!!!!

Have your friend try the cleansing wipes.  My son is adamant about using them now.  They can be flushed too.  Greatest thing since sliced bread.\n\nToo, Charmin (I think) has a toilet using (like cleanup and such) packet with hints and tips, samples and a sticker chart to help little bums get cleaned up.\n\nGood luck to her.

I'm a medic and have been working as one for eight years. I would not recommend it. If you really want to cleanse your colon correctly go to an Internal Medicine clinic and have a doctor do it. Sure you'll feel "lighter" but you're getting rid of Good Bacteria that help fight infection. Same goes for douches. Not saying you can't do it, just be careful that you don't do it too often.

When you come in, don't just drop things wherever.  Put them where they belong.  It may take a little longer then, but in the long run, it's much easier and faster than cleaning up a total mess.  You'll feel better about yourself as well.

I'm an emergency room nurse. I both love my job and really hate my job. I love when I can help really sick people get better. There's no thrill like shaking a man's hand, the same man that was nearly dead 2 days before, and we got him to the cardiac cath lab before his heart attack killed him. \nI hate the way people treat me. I am on my feet for 12 hours or more a day, and am running between 5 patients. I have a bachelor's degree, am a registered nurse, and worked really hard to get my education and pass my boards. Some people treat me like a maid, or like a waitress. Sure, I am very willing to go get that glass of water, or to clean your family member when they soil their adult diaper. But is it necessary to be hostile to me? And I do understand that your frustration is coming from a place of concern and love for your family member, and if it was my mother/father/sister/son in the hospital, I'd be overprotective of their well-being too. But really, I'm not sticking your grandfather with a needle again for MY health, I'm not enjoying it. It's for HIS health, so we can run the test on his blood that may contribute to saving his life. And it's not my fault that he's 93 and has no veins, or is so dehydrated or has paper thin skin that is so fragile. And, your grandmother was very stable, health-wise, so I took an extra 15 minutes getting that glass of water because I had to go give a diuretic medication to a man who was drowning in the fluid in his own lungs. I had to put in a catheter so we could measure his urine output. \n\nSeriously, people, be nicer to nurses. We work really hard, and went into the field because we have some altruistic desire to help people be healthier. We don't deserve abuse.

Well, if I were your co-worker, this is what you would do:\n\n1.  Eat smelly, crunchy food at your desk.\n2.  Talk with your mouth full.\n3.  Sniff, cough, or clear your throat repeatedly.\n4.  Be obsessive/compulsive.\n5.  Tape everything to your desk because the cleaning people "are always moving things around."\n6.  Before you leave at night, stand at the door staring at your desk for precisely 30 seconds.

I have had a few!!!  I cleaned a respite home for mentally and physically disabled people while I was at college, I was hoovering a room when one of the patients started being sick, as he had a hole in his throat where he was tube fed, it sprayed all up the wall out of the hole, that was pretty disturbing.\n\nI worked for a short time in a beauty salon, owned by a semi-famous hairdresser so no names as I don't want to get sued, she was an absolute psycho b*tch from hell and her husband was an arrogant man, they made it their mission to make every member of staff cry at least once and made my life heel every day.  I hated that job so much I faked illness and told them I was not coming back.

EEWWWW!!!!! GROSS!!! Where do you work, cause I'm sure not wanting to there!  I'm sorry, but that's just sick.  Ugh, I'm grossed out just thinking about it.  \nThat's my opinion.  The end. (Hint, hint-my response is a NO!)

You are enjoying this too much.  Poop in the pan then move the pan.  Finisher yer big crap then divie up the poop in the pan into the jars......wipe and go.  Don't forget to wash yer hands.

You know, you bring up an interesting point.\n\nWhen you are at home, you can just turn on the sink next to you and clean off your hand.\n\nHowever, this scenario is especially inconvenient when you are in a stall somewhere else. What do you do then? You can pseudo-clean up by getting most of it off with another sheet of toilet paper, but your hand still has crap and germs on it. Then you have to pull up your pants with your clean hand and try to button and zipper up. This is not easy, and most people probably give up and use both hands to get their pants up. So then you've gotten crap on your pants and shirt and have to go back to the office.\n\nIn this world of computers and fancy cars that give you directions, why are we still rolling toilet paper in a ball to wipe our @$$es, and we can't even see what we're doing?\nI don't get that. Don't the Japanese have robot toilets that scrub and clean your @$$? Why can't we get that here in the US?

I hover sometimes or I use tissue to cover the toilet seat. Sometimes I hold it if it is a nasty restroom. At school I will not take a shit. It is really embarrassing if you do it and someone just happens to walk in behind me.

I was in a simular situation when I was a manager.  I had an employee that was offending customers.  I had no idea how to approach this person with fear that their reaction would be with anger and/or embarrassment.  It wasn't until someone in a higher position gave me this advice.....\n\nThe person who has the body odor doesn't understand the concept of cleanliness as you do.  So, approaching them you will notice that they may be oblivious to the situation.  My experience was that I was educating them on cleaniness.  Once achieved, this should favor both parties.  \n\nAlthough the person I delt with never changed their ways, probably because we weren't friends and that this person was a bad employee.  Your situation is different.  Still, it's worth the effort to educate....\n\nHope this helps you.\n\n:)\nPeace

buy them soap and tell them they stink...honesty it is always the best policy\nOr you can quit your job.
