Perhaps I overexaggerated but CNA is basically professional rear end washer whereas with a BSN there's hope you're not going to be doing just that all day long.

I mean, if you have to answer "What does an RN do?" with one sentence it's probably "Hand out meds." Obviously there's a lot of variables and different kinds of RNs so that's a really stupid generalization but I think that's about as good as it gets as a generalization. If you answer "What does a CNA do?" it's probably "Clean rear end."

If anything, as a RN, you are the workforce of the hospital and basically the physician's eyes and ears when they are not there. If there was anything that I would say a CNA does, it is that they are the nurse's eyes and ears while they are off doing something else. Things become so much easier when you have CNAs on the floor, and some of them are loving masters at changing a lovely rear end bed while keeping the new sheets and the patients clean. I still learn new stuff from my CNAs.

Also, as a nurse, I can deal with poo poo and piss all day. But gently caress anything having to do with suctioning. I will gag almost every time.
