   ChickaBoom posted a topic in Job Hunt

8. Help, I hate Vomit - Can I still be a nurse?

   ChickaBoom replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   I don't mind emesis at all. The sight, sound, or smell really have no effect on me. My superpower ends there though - I lose it all at the sight of hair or sputum caught in the drain. And needles. How can I be a nurse and have a fear of needles, you...

    ChickaBoom replied to Jacqueline.Damm's topic in General Nursing

    I love this whole thing! I am a student and I often get (nicely) teased about being a germaphobe by fellow students because I insist on wearing gloves and following hygiene protocols to a tee. But the germs are seriously something that needs to be co...
