I'm a nursing assistant and I love it. It's hard work for sure. By the end of my twelve hour day my feet and legs are throbbing, I feel disgusting and sometimes pass out on the couch at 7:30 but it's worth it. I love being with the patients.
Some people say they could never do this job because part of the job is cleaning up dirty stuff, bathing and helping people go to the bathroom. But I think good greif, what's the big deal? These are all valuable human beings. Why wouldn't you want to help someone out? It's a pleasure to help.
To say the least, it's nice to like this job so much. It's great to feel fulfilled when I come home. I finally feel like I'm headed in the right direction.
