Most RN's I've worked with would expect the CNA (AIN in OZ) to find the bum needing wiping before they smelled it! I don't know what client/ staff ratios are outside of Oz, the 4 places I have worked have ranged from 1 to 1/ 1 to 8. The place I work now it's 4 to 1 plus an RN who does wipe bums. In 18 months in this industry I have never had to wipe more than 5 bums a day, currently maybe 1 or 2. I figure that's $75k with about 2 hours spent wiping bums. Another job I had as a youngster was strapper/ stablehand in a racing horse stud farm. 4 hours a day doing nothing but scooping shit; far worse and terrible money

The greatest challenge I've had in a healthcare type job had was restraining, moving and transporting the more violent retarded clients. You couldn't "officially" use too much force in restraining these clients, many of which would punch, kick, scratch, bite, swing or throw objects when about to receive drugs, shots, showers etc.

The bum wiping was mostly done by female employees, although males often restrained, lifted and moved the violent and/or heavy clients.

The work outside the facilities and group homes was enjoyable since we'd take the higher functioning non violent clients to movies, concerts, restaurants, shopping, roller skating, or on field trips, picnics etc.

When I was in college, I also worked with difficult draw patients in juvenile facilities and drug/alcohol prison rehab facilities.

Yeah Mark, I can relate. I've had some pretty freaky clients: attempted suicide with fork/ launched out of wheelchair attempting to grab or hit strangers in the street/ attempted scratching out the eyes of carers every morning at shower time/ eating shit'/ 'self extraction'/ public masturbation/ jumping in bed with other clients/ bashing other clients/ screaming for cigarettes (even with one in their mouth)/ forgetting what a toilet is/ etc.
Some of the most difficult are onset dementia patients who can talk about the 30's with clarity but can't remember if their kids came to see them this morning.
Lifting is all by machines these days. If I dared insinuate bum wiping is woman's work I would be out of a job quick smart!

The men will get their pie back for that I have no doubt. Remember this is about the Feminist misandry bubble not the rise of feminist misandry. Like all bubbles they pop often leaving behind a desolation that is worse that what existed before the bubble. Imagine much of the West turning to Islam and rolling back secularism in favor of Sharia. There has never been a successful feminist culture. Historically every single culture that favored women and restricted men collapsed and was quickly replace by a male dominated culture.

Wiping the bums of retards that shit themselves adds very little value to society. Without men doing real work to pay the bills heath care cannot endure and neither can education. The bubble of overpaid women and favorable laws that transfer wealth from men to women will end because when the men stop creating wealth there will be no wealth to transfer.

+1 Novus. I fear the pop will include some of the worst parts of the bible though. :/

If I can't get a job in IT for some reason, I can't help but feel working in the sewage industry would be interesting. All those tunnels to explore, raw human waste networks... Meh I'll do whatever I need to do. Worst job in my life so far was cleaning in a butchers. Talk about elbow grease, I swear my right arm is slightly bigger than my left arm still.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean.

[Novus]

Ludi feminism cannot sustain itself by leeching off the wealth of 20 old men. Those 20 individuals don't really produce the wealth anyway. Their wealth is continually created and sustained by armies of men under them. The end of Feminism will come through the rebellion of those males ending their creation of wealth surpluses most of which is turned over to women. Men work themselves to an early grave to provide for their wife and kids but feminism has poisoned the relationship breaking the social contract between men and women. Men will survive it, the women won't.

JJ, there are some absolute classics where I am as it is either full blood aboriginals to whom english is a 3rd or 5th language or old cowhands/ station families. 3.30 am/ Mr Jones: "Who left the boody gate open? The cattle are all in my room!" or "Where's my blazin' horse?"

Novus: if there is a God or karma you may find yourself with low grade care being left to sit in your shit all day until you die from rotten bedsores. The problem with aged care spending has nothing to do with basic services but with over the top medical care; which is blatently unsustainable.

JJ, and myself are married to Filipina's, perhaps some others are also, or to other cultured women who still do have a clear and strong social contract. Feminism is not a word in Tagalog; but the philippines has had 2 very important female presidents, 51% of businesses in the Philippines are owned by women. Most Filipino men hand over all or most of their pay to their wives then need to ask for beer money etc.

I spend the money I earn 'wiping bums' on a very creative lifestyle which I enjoy immensely. I don't give 2 hoots what misogynists think or racists or feminazis.

Western feminism has dismantled roles most importantly in the home and in communications. Men have always been better at some things as women have at others. A world made up of men and their subjective women would be lesser than a world of gender difference but equality. Traditions sometimes exist for very good reason.

Reactionary misogyny is the polar opposite of man hating feminazism, both are futile, non productive negatives, a waste of time and energy.

JJ, I never went to that extent. But not doing so means it's an ongoing discussion about money, I understand why most men just give in and hand it over. Fortunately my wife is not a gambler, druggie or drunk. I do see gambling being a chronic problem for many Filipinas particularly. I have a brother in law working in Saudi sending his pay home to his wife who blows it on card sharks (Tong-it). 4 unfavorite things in the Phil's: corrupt government/ karaoke/ tong-it & burning garbage. Favorite thing: the women, and not just for the obvious reasons.

Weirdness.

We just pile the income into one bank account. Each pay period, the primary bill (either child support for my oldest son or the mortage for our house) gets paid first, then $297 cash for 2 weeks of groceries, haircut money, discretionary mad-money etc, then specific amounts for rainy day funds and spending funds for the car, medical bills, clothes, gifts, house maintenance etc and any other bills.

All credit cards paid off in full every 2 weeks like clockwork. (if there isn't enough cash to buy something, a credit card is not used... credit cards mostly for automatic payments like daycare or something like gas @ Sam's Club)

I run a tight ship financially, and considering my background, am suited for that rather than just letting wife do finances. (My major from 1986-1989 was accounting until I switched to computer science. After I got my MS in computers in May 2003 it looked like job search was going to be a Fail so I went back to finish BS in accounting only to get a job end of December 2003 in computers. So I continued a few semesters in accounting after that and stopped 5 classes shy of a degree. (which sounds silly but it would cost a pretty penny to finish, and time is also an issue with the wife doing an MS now and a baby to take care of)

But I do my finances on spreadsheet, run tax scenarios on TurboTax, etc. Calculate how much money I'll have available for buying solar panels when child support ends in 6 years, etc. I got amortization tables in Excel for mortgage & solar panels & preps, and factor in specific events like child support or daycare costs ending etc.

The big thing is a multi-sheet spreadsheet that has separate pages for student loans, credit card balances, investments, bank balances, etc and a summary balance sheet page that shows the net amounts from the separate pages, including net worth and reserve funds available for a crisis. (This gets updated every 2 weeks, and the goal is every 2 weeks to show an increase in net work and reserve funds)
