Never, ever become a nurse's assistant if you can't handle horrible smells :)

This cannot be overstated. It can be rough. It's important to know what you're getting into. The worst places I've been have CNAs that are not cut out for the job, and straight up hide during shifts to push the gross/arduous tasks to already heavily-burdened nurses. That is no bueno and it ends with burnt out nurses and much worse patient care.

At the same time, good CNAs are an absolute godsend. Literally could not do my job as well as I do without CNAs kicking ass, so much appreciation for you guys.
