I feel nursing is my "calling" for a few reasons, some practical, some very deeply personal. However, this does not stop me from having apprehensions about walking into the room of a person I don't know from Adam and checking out their private bits! I know I will get used to it, but I'd like to hear your stories of your first day of true patient contact - how did it go? Did you flake out and run away crying? Any major mistakes? General uncomfortable awkwardness? Or did you handle it like a pro?
I'm hoping for the latter, but we won't know til it happens, so for now I'll be content hearing some of your experiences!
