RNs will probably have to bathe people. Often though, in hospitals the nursing assistants will do it. But it can happen. Yes, there are nursing specialties. For example a surgical nurse or a pediatric nurse or a geriatric nurse.

Being a nurse is such a rewarding job! it feels great if you can help people or somehow touches people's lives and seeing them as a unique individual. Simple things like bathing or feeding etc. a patient is part and parcel of a nurses touch. You have to have a passion of being a nurse rather than just the sake of the title "RN". You can specialize in any sort of speciality if you wish to! there's no hindrance of you to specialize....well, this is my opinion and views as a nurse myself! I too, i'm specializing soon for Urology!

Anytime you are a nurse you can be called upon to - get ready for it - NURSE people which includes bathing them.
If you don't want to bathe people but still be an RN then get into the administrative end.

Yes, you do. And insert catheters, and give enemas. Anything needed to take care of people. You certainly can specialize -- heart disease, emergency room, etc.

Yes they do and if you are squeamish about bathing be assured they have other tasks that you really won't like!
