Cleaner Job than Certified Nursing Assistant?

I'm currently taking classes towards becoming a certified nursing assistant. However, I realize that I don't want to clean after someone's poop. Is there a cleaner career alternative that's still related to nursing/health field? For instance, would adding on a nurse technician certificate result in me not having to help nursing residents use the bathroom? That's really the only part that turns me off. I want to use the experience to help me get into a nursing school.

nope, you will still be delegated the 'poopy' jobs, i believe if you add the certificate you can do simple dressing changes, remove caths ect but no big deal. if you are gonna do anything why dont u go for your LPN? you will make really good money and then only have one year left for your RN, thats what lots of people do. i hate doing the bathroom duty too, but as an RN i dont escape it, you will still have to do it no matter what. but if you become a nurse you can go in a totally different care setting. so could you work as a home health aide too then? i dont know the difference but i work for a home care agency and we have a home heatlh aide, she isnt a nurse but she gives people their baths and gets their vitals, most people she just helps em' get dressed or take a shower, some bed baths, but not really the poop, do you have a home health care agency by you? just a thought to get you out of the nursing home setting, i dont like it either.
Reply:Hi, I work as an RN. You might want to check out some health areas that do not involve direct patient care. You might want to check out Medical Assisting. They usually work in a doctors office ,taking vital signs EKG,etc. You may also like something like medical billing and coding. I recommend that you check out a community college near you and look in to any of the health fields they have offered. What you want to do with your life is a big choice so take some time to check it out. Good luck
Reply:How about a certified medical assistant? They usually work in doctor's offices or clinics. Less poop.
Reply:use the cert and work while you put yourself thru nursing, medical, or paramedic school. talk to your instructor.
