I voted for urine, since it is sterile (in most cases, anyway) unless it's been sitting around for a while. Of course, I don't like ANYTHING that's warm, wet, and not mine.......but I think there's far less to fear from a little splash of squizzle than from the other bodily emissions. YUK:eek:

I agree only a nurse would come up with this poll. ALL OF THE ABOVE! I can probably handle anything, but when it's a lung cookie I gag. Oh and what else makes me gag is a ripe GI bleed or a gangrenous foot. Great poll btw.

Canoehead you are right on target....could not have discribed it any better. I hate it when that stuff comes flying out or stringing from here to there....got to be careful....

Joke: Can't remember how it really goes, but this is the jist.

A nurse and RT are in a room up to armpits in feces. They are taking care of a trach patient. The trach patient coughs a huge gob - the nurse ducks.:p

Semen???? I've been in the ER for ten-plus years, and, thankfully,

never been "splashed" with semen. Nor have I been splashed

with lady partsl secretions.... I must be lucky!I guess these two would probably freak me out a little bit..

Nothing, absolutely nothing grosses me out. I am a OR nurse. I have worked all the way from the OR down to ambulance work to working in a mortuary to picking up dead bodies that have been in the sun for awhile. So as you can see nothing bothers me, no matter how rotten or fetid it is. Mike

Should I put on that really short, white nursing dress, ya know the one that zips down to there? Under I'll have on my push up bra, my garter belt and thigh highs along with my 4 inch stilleto nurses shoes just so I can pick semen as the thing that least grosses me out? ;) Wendy

ps maybe I just got it on my cap, not on my person lol

Semen? lady partsl secretions? Exactly how do I go about getting these "splashed" on me? Unless you work in a sperm bank of course...
