My niece has an emergency c-section two weeks ago and got an infection and they had to reopen her wound. On Friday, I was there and the nurse came in to clean and repack the wound and I decided since I am going to nursing school in the fall, I will stay and hold her had but also watch the procedure.
I did fine for awhile, the nurse pulled out the old packing, started to clean with perioxide and then with saline solution (I believe that was the other) and then all of a sudden, it hit me. My whole body become very hot and I started to get dizzy. I felt so bad and I had to leave the room. I went outside and had to sit in a wheelchair until I felt better.
Now I have already had my own doubts and then this happened which made me feel even more unsure. Of course, my husband makes a comment about at least now I know (which I don't).
Anyone have similar things happen but continue on with nursing and do ok with it?
