uggh- you’re right, that is an awful combo- i was talking with a nurse today that said she was a caretaker home aid and had to work with an elderly man who had colostomy and dementia, and he’d always rip the pouch off- and she had to continually clean the mess and keep pouches on him- what a way to end up- awful- poor guy- poor nurse- all around bad situation- nurses deserve loads of accolades for their self sacrificial help-
I have encountered a few nurses and CNAs in my day... for my babies, my own hospital stay, svd and numerous stays for my parents...biggie respect for them. They don’t get paid enough.
