I got two take care of two rooms of patients (4 people) all by myself. Of course it took me as long as it takes the regular CNAs to do 3 or 4 rooms. This includes transferring patients from their beds to the bathroom chair, and then washing them and getting them dressed, and changing the linens on their beds. During one room, I accidentally touched the urine filled pads to my legs and felt disgusting the rest of the day. I also got to help hold a completely dependent person on her side while an LVN gave her an enema and pulled poop out of her butt. Thats the closest i've come to puking on the job so far. But I took deep breaths and got through it. I left the room feeling tough! No one else I know would have been able to do that with out vomiting, makes me feel like I'm really meant for this kind of work. But really, I just want to be an RN already!
