  15. A Question to Nurses and Nursing Students.. HELP ME!

    Hi there! I too was just like you. Except that that thought of being a nurse never crossed my mind really. My older sister was a nurse and I remember asking her how in the world she used to deal with that sort of stuff. Wounds was a biggie for me. I ...
