I feel the same way as a pre-nursing student. I want to be a nurse badly but I'm afraid I will pass out or something during an emergency. I think your Mom is right though, once you have experience you will be confident enough to deal with it. That's what school is for right? To teach us the ins and outs. Good luck!

I have a question as a pre-nursing student that may sound silly. I really want a career in nursing because I am a "giver" and love helping people, and feel it would be a rewarding career for me. The only thing is I am apprehensive about giving people injections. I am afraid I will hurt them or that I will screw up, as needles tend to make me a little nervous ( although I've experienced procedures such as amnios, biopsies, etc, and been fine!) Is it something you get a feel for eventually through practice? I imagine there are worse things I may have to do, but for some reason this task freaks me out!! Thanks for any replys!
