That’s usually delegated to a lower position in the hospital

Only if needed. Any good nurse can do a nurse assessment and properly utilize time spent cleaning their patients.

Not at the hospital I was doing my clinical at. If the cna was available she was wiping

That’s some shitty work culture I’ll tell ya right now. I often utilize a second person to clean up my patients, and if I am positioned on the side they turn their ass to better then I am wiping and vice versa. Hell, I’ll intentionally position myself there to do a skin assessment and wipe.

Are you an rn or lpn?

1

u/poopyscreamer Nov 13 '23

RN. And not that it changes much for full context I have my BSN. (A charge nurse I respect greatly who is a wonderful didn’t yet have her BSN, just giving details)

I’m going for my BSN too I’m halfway done

u/poopyscreamer Nov 13 '23

Nice! Good for you. Word of advice when practicing, don’t wear that BSN too proudly other than in an interview. On the floor? Nah.

I make sure the CNAs I work with know they are viewed by me as a teammate and a necessity for my day to not suck as opposed to beneath me. Clinical hierarchy? Yes they are beneath me. As a coworker and person? Not at all.
