After 32 hours of my placement at a facility, I decided not to continue as it is making me feel sick. I can't handle the smell of urine and feces that I get massive headache as if my head is going to explode. The other day I asked the owner/manager if I could eat my lunch outside to get some fresh air as I could still smell shit and was told bluntly no. She thinks no one should go out of the building in case there is an emergency and that everyone should help that basically you have to drop your lunch and forget you are on a break after standing continuously for 6 hours showering, toileting, feeding and transferring residents. It's a very toilsome job that I would rather mop the floor for a living than caring for these old folks!
It's a job that is not for me...
