Nuthin but s-h-i-t.  All day.  My patient was incontinent, with diarrhea.  Can you imagine?  It started even before my day technically started.  I walked into the room to find him laying there, covered.  Bedding covered.  Everything covered. And the smell. Grown man strong. The smell. God, the smell.  Three times I had to leave the room as I silently gagged.  And it just happened over and over again allllllll day long.  Now I swear the smell is coming out of my pores.  I smell s-h-i-t all up in my nostrils.  I wasn't prepared.  I didn't have anything to sniff to hold my gag reflex at bay.  No strong cinnamon gum to chew. Nothing.
I think this means I'm officially a student nurse?
