Gagging during the breif change... Help!

Published

I am currently taking my CNA certification course and we have been to the nursing home 3 times so far. I'm getting worried though because everytime we change the brief and there is a #2 in it. I begin gagging from both the smell and the appearance. I really want to be a nurse some day but am worried I won't be able to get over this. Blood, guts and goo don't bother me but the brief def. does. I tried to breath through my mouth rather then my nose but that hasn't helped. Please help me get over this!

Vapo-rub or any other menthol ointment works. My instructor recommended it and my classmates and I never looked back. Just had to second this motion.
