I really like the thought of being a nurse (ex Helping people, salary, etc.) What I'm really concerned about is that I hate seeing sores and surgeries but I'm okay with blood. I "took" Allied II in highschool for like 2 weeks but I dropped out before they would go into a nursing home and do the sponge-bathe. I did not think I could handle seeing a naked old man. My teacher told me that it might because I have not really been exposed to those things so that's probably why I was extremely uncomfortable of the thought of seeing them naked. Of course I regret dropping that class because I could've been a CNA by now. So I need your advice if I should even consider taking classes to be a nurse in the future? Someone said, as soon as i'm exposed to it (to things like sores/sponge bathe/etc) i'll get used to it and it won't be a big deal anymore. I'm just really afraid I won't be able to handle those things. Please give me an advice.
