I don't mean to be rude, but I think you need a new profession. You said you became a nurse to alleviate the suffering of others. Well don't you think that cleaning someone up and getting them into a clean diaper alleviates their suffering? Not all suffering has to do with pain. What about the family? Has it ever occured to you that maybe she CAN'T clean her husband up? ( I guess it was her husband, your post was a little confusing on that point). Not physically, she may be emotionally unable to do it. On another note, do you think that the patient would be defecating like that on purpose? I can guarantee you that isn't the case. You need to work on your compassion for others. I promise you that if you were nursing any of my loved ones like that I'd be speaking to your supervisor and wouldn't allow you NEAR us. Think about that.

 Is their a topic here that I am missing????? What does "shitty Sunday" mean, you had a bad day, you stepped in shit, someone threw shit at you and it was Sunday, your babies diaper over flowed with "shit" and you had to clean it up? What ?

No, there was one. It was either removed by site admin. or edited by the original poster for some reason (embarassment???) Anyway, it was a complaint that nurses shouldn't have to clean pt's and it's the tech's job, yada, yada, yada. That's not the end of it by far, but it's the biggest point.

 glad it was deleted!
