    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    First Year Nursing - Scared of Death

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to jerep's topic in General Students

    I was this same way, except it wasn't the fact of actually seeing a dead body that bothered me. It was death in general, bonding with someone and losing them. I had never lost anyone close to me...
