Will working as a Nursing Assistant ......?

give you an idea what being a Nurse is like?
or
Is it just hte crap work?

Well, it will let you look at some of their work, but you will be too busy to really get to know it. It is crap work and terribly underpaid, so you have to really love what you are doing or you will get really burned out. I would (and did) use it to put myself through nursing school, but I wouldn't settle on it for a career.

In a way is is both. You do clean up a lot of crap...literally, but you are also around to see how health care really works. Being a nurse aide is a great way to see if all the time you spend in nursing school is worth it.
I'm a CNA in nursing school. ALL of my family has been or is a CNA or nurse.
I would certainly think so. I recommend you talk to someone who is currently working as a Nursing Assistant already and a nurse at a local hospital.
