Try seeing how long a nurse remained employed if she didn't partake in the above activity many times a day. 🙂

If you are looking for a squabble it seems that Purple has already had enough nasty posts from this place. Don't let it get to you Purplecarrot-top.
By the way. I didn't add my congratulations. Outstanding and well done.

What a load of crock that comment is.
Whilst I am not a nurse I have friends who are, 2 of them working in the operating theatre as scrub nurses, definitely not bottom wiping there.
One works in Accident and Emergency at a large hospital in Sydney helping to save lives. Only a small part of her job would involve 'wiping bottoms'.
Another is a nurse practioner in the outback, doing things like sutures, xrays, applying plaster of paris casts, and doing work a lot more involved than 'wiping bottoms'.
Obviously you have much to learn about the nursing profession. A lot of the basic nursing care is now done by EN's or Assistants in Nursing, depending on the hospital.
