SMELLS

I tend to hold my breath..... or breathe through my mouth... lol Is that bad?

guaifenesin, Nutren, and hydrochloric acid.

Another life saved.

Oh that stuff has a very distinct smell. I take Mucinex D when my sinuses are completely clogged and I know that smell, and taste. Yuck.

That's a great story though.

I second Vick's. I used it in my nurse aide clinicals. The poo smell bothers me. It got me through. I stuck some under my nose right before I washed my hands and put on my gloves. It got me through the poo,stale urine, and catheter urine (sitting all night.) I didn't gag once. I could still smell it a little, but it helped me a lot.

I do breath through my mouth, however, I always have tons of Altoids in my mouth.

I volunteer at an ED and I don't bring my Vick's. There have been some great odors there, I must say. Though it's not the same as being right there.

Thanks everyone for all of your inputs.....I will definiltley try the vicks I love that smell anyway:) and even the breathing through the mouth Im sure I will catch myself not breathing at all on some things lol...

healthstar-Im sure you will get over it after you see it over and over...eventually you will just get used to it..at least thats what Im thinking!

vsh1109-Thanks for the story I get where your coming from, we have to think how horrible they would feel and that were here to help....Im sure you will do great as a nurse!

Again Thanks Everyone!!!
