Is it true that most nursing majors end up wiping butts at the begining of their career, this scares me?



I wil be a freshmen in college and will be in the nursing program. I'm very interested in Pediatric nursing, or using it as pre-med possibly

Well usually the LPN's have the butt wiping duties. RN do more paper work in the hosptial I worked at. Most hospitals have aides also to help out with the patients. So go for your dream, but don't let people scare you, you may have to do something you don't care for from time to time as a nurse, but thats part of the job.

Low man on the totem pole always gets the worst jobs.
yes and will do it most of your nursing career it comes with the territory
retired nurse
yes, you usually start your way at the bottom to get to the top
You got to pay your dues and experience everything before moving on up....
I don't know about all nurses, but my mom has been in the hospital for about 2 months now and all the nurses I see have to butt wipe and clean up all sorts of disgusting things. I honestly don't know why anyone would become a nurse after seeing what they do. I'm not sure about a pediatric nurse though...just telling you what I saw.
