  2. what percentage of your job involves poop?

    Not sure how to answer that. I guess I'd say it isn't that important; i don't think I said that. It makes sense to me that not everyone thinks about the same things when going into a career, so it...

    Quick question: What do you mean "never being able to leave work at work"? Do you mean emotionally or literally? The reason I ask is because this is one of the thing that draws me to nursing. In my...
