Frustrated and Nervous

Published

Okay, so I am really frustrated because blood and guts and other things DO NOT bother me...I don't even get anxious about having blood drawn or anything....and the whole time I feel fine while my blood is being taken BUT then after about 2 minutes my body goes crazy and I don't feel good and I sweat a lot and feel dizzy...is this normal? I am nervous it will hinder my performance in nursing school...and I don't know what I would do if I don't become a nurse...nursing is what I long to do....however, the sight of other people getting blood drawn and other procedures DOES NOT bother me at all! I am just so confused...

thank you everyone for your support and encouragement! NOTHING will stop me from becoming a nurse!

...then what makes you think this would be an issue?:icon_roll:

Sounds like it's just a blood pressure thing.

I was just a little worried about myself but I feel much better about everything!

Better to check it out with the board than worry unnecessarily -- it's common for new nursing school students to have anxieties about how they will react to the sight of blood/barf/poop since it's a complete unknown in most cases. One time a student started a thread called "scared of poop, help!" :lol2:
