I'm considering becoming a nurse as i'm very interested in the whole field and am excited at the prospect but I have a problem and would really like to know from someone in a nursing career whether it would affect me enough to avoid going down the nursing route. I am quite squeamish of blood, not majorly so, I can handle it generally and don't mind watching operations and such but i'm not sure whether I could handle a big open wound myself. I really want to overcome it, obviously that has to happen on my own terms, but I would really like to know if it would affect my chances in a major way. Thanks for your help :)
