Don't laugh, but... what if I throw up??

Nurses General Nursing

I begin an RN program in August. I have worked hard in school and can't wait to start but... the one thing that does have me worried is what if I'm changing a diaper or something and the smell makes me gag??

Some of you may be cracking up right now! But I'm really nervous about that.

I'm not a complete wimp, I do have a son and changing his diapers never bothered me, but I would just feel so badly if a patient were to see me looking green!

Any advise or words of wisdom out there?

Thanks in advance!

Whew, i don't think i could sleep, knowing i had leeches clinging to me!

Had a patient with leeches on his hand. He woke up to a surprise -- one of them had given up and gone exploring, and it was now on his shoulder, and still climbing. Yikes!! He didn't sleep with them on anymore.
