I would think that nurses could use some help with bed making and feeding of patients. They have plenty of other duties to get done during their shift. It is when the level of involvement with professional nursing duties gets to the level of nursing assistants passing meds and doing other more complex tasks that I think the higher ups go too far. I guess the detractors see this move as a step in the wrong direction toward employers using less qualified workers at lower pay and undermining the jobs and professional view of nurses.
