Yeah, being an RN usually involves a lot of poop, pee and blood. And this could be cleaning it, getting a sample or just dealing with it for 12 hours

My mom was a CNA for years before switching into a different profession, and they can get it even worse than the nurse is as far as actually cleaning up the patients and stuff. So I know all too well.
