fear of vomit?

Are there any nurses out there who have a fear of vomit, the stomach bug, etc.? Are there other things that really gross you out that you encounter as a nurse?

I was on magnesium sulfate with my last pregnancy to stop preterm labor and it made me throw up and I swear the nurse was grossed out. She got out of there as fast as she could.

Anyway, can I become a nurse if I am afraid of vomit? I know I will see it a lot and have to deal with it and clean it up, but is anyone else dealing with this?

I can be in the room during a childbirth, i can watch any surgery, i cna clean up any diaherriah, i can watch IV needles and shot needles be inserted with flying colors, but when i see someone vomiting, i tremble at the sight of it!!!
