OK, so I'm not even in Nursing school yet, I'm still working on my pre-requisites... BUT I am excited to start and have really been reading a lot of these forums and researching different fields of Nursing.. BUT the other night I had to take my husband to the ER and we heard another patient down the hall just heaving and puking SO loudly, almost like he was dying. I had to cover my ears and I got nauseous and my heart started racing. Then the WHOLE rest of the day and night I am obsessing over it, and I keep hearing the sounds over and over like it is haunting me, which makes me feel like Im going to throw up. I mean, is this rediculous or what? What is going to happen when I go to clinicals and have to take care of someone like that? I am afraid I will run out of the room covering my ears. Please tell me I will get better. (Im even a mom, and I'm still like this)
P.S. I know you experienced nurses are probably laughing at me right now, but seriously this is my only fear!!! haha
