If my parents and my grandparents could do it, I think I should be able to do it too. :v I just really hope I can overcome my weak stomach. I get queasy about some things easy. Like, amputations and stuff like that.

Do you have any advice for me CE? How do I harden my stomach? :v

The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poli' meaning many, and the word 'ticks' meaning blood sucking parasites.

Queasiness and nursing really don't go hand in hand.

Blood is only a tiny part of it.

You're dealing with people at the worst times of their lives.

You will get puked on. You will get shit on.

You will smell things that can only be described as hellish.

Very first patient I got to deal with when doing my clinical shift in the ER was a 97 year old woman who had a hemorrhagic stroke and was pretty much comatose (and she was definitely dying). We went to take her temperature rectally and the diarrhea started. Luckily while I was holding her so the nurse could wipe her, she began throwing up so I got to hold a bowl for her to vomit into. It was kinda like jumping right into a cold pool, taught me that no matter how horrible the smell, I could deal with it.

Though sometimes the smell randomly comes back to me.
