Interesting they have done that, friends of ours sons first shift was in the dementia ward, patient passed away and they made him wash the body by himself . He had nightmares for weeks and never went back. I wonder if that’s how they “weed” the newbies out?

It takes a special kind of person to work in that field, I highly respect those that do, I know I couldn't hack it as I'd grow too attached to people as I always seem to form friendships with the older generation.
I hope it doesn't dishearten Jnr Jase and at least he's getting exposed to it early to learn what's in store, sorry, there's no nice way of sugar coating it.

Poor kid was weeping into his chicken burger last night... We spent a lot of time de-briefing him and encouraging him last night and this morning...
He put his scrubs on dusted himself off and went off to placement this morning and hopefully when we get home this evening his day would have been better...
