neg rep for this.

"So I am planning to be a Nurse Assistant because from my other thread I mentioned I am dumb as a brick so I need a easy high security job heh heh.. How is the market demand for a nurse Assistant and is being a Nurse Assistant easier than being a computer scientist?"

Since I cannot muster up the courage to reply to this post at a certain forum, I will list my reasons why I negative rep'd this post.

First of all, this person mentions being dumb, and planning to becoming a Nurse's Assistant.  You do not correlate both of those together.  Nurses Assistants are not dumb.  Maybe the path to be one is simple and straightforward, but the actual work is tiring mentally and physically.  You have to think quick at the spur of the moment.  Dumb people make bad decisions.  Bad decisions lead to ineffective care.  Not only that, but along with your intelligence, you must cope with being put down all the time. You just cannot make a mistake in care, and one minor mistake can cost awfully a lot.

The mental fatigue comes from the degredation of your own ego.  If you have an egotistical personality deep inside, you might feel hurt.  The Nurse's Assistant is at the very bottom of the status chain, and you won't feel prestigious in the team.  You won't feel the power, even though their role is an important part.  You'll also have to take shots from the clients themselves.  Of course, don't take anything personally, but still hurt hurts for awhile.  You'll get your hand slapped for being too slow.  If you were dumb you can't take it. My definition of dumb may be different, but mine is that dumb people complain and lose their cool quickly.

The physical tiredness should be self explanatory.  All the work is physical, walking around for eight hours, lifting, talking.  And you use your five senses in a difficult way.  You smell the poop.  You touch the poop AND the butt.  You SEE the poop.  You hear HEEELP HEEELP HEEELP left and right.  And you TASTE the bitterness of disparage.

It takes a lot of love and understanding to be an efficient caregiver.  Time management, good attitude, and everything else at their best, I believe, creates the best nursing team.  The goal is to improve the person's health to their best possible condition, and you do that by being strong and taking whatever your teammates or clients throws at you.  Please don't coming into this just for wanting to work just for a high security or calling themselves dumb going into this job. Sorry, but your attitude just perks me, especially going into a field like this one.

Yup, not replying because he's, or she's, not even asking about a review or whatever I said.  Only asking for the demand.  Thus my reply would be quite irrelevant.

Hell yeah, standing up for myself! I guess I should have said it nicer though.  If this person asking was a client however, I would say it nicer of course.
