How u feel when u start training with ppl covered with blood

Nursing Eyes,

You saw these things on your first day? I can't imagine. You are still a student?

Most western nurses do not have to see these things, emergency room nurses and paramedics would be the closest to it. My brother is a paramedic and I know that after he experiences horrible bloody accidents he uses humor to deal with it. He laughs and makes jokes that can be quite shocking to people who don't understand what he has seen. I think this is the only way he can keep from being sad.

But most of us, at least in the US and most of Europe have not had to deal with war-like situations.

God's blessings to you and your co-workers.
