Hi my name is Rachel and I'm going into my first year of nursing at Ryerson University. I'm really excited to go into the medical field for that's all I've ever considered doing my whole life. I wouldn't consider doing anything else but nursing although I have a big problem. The other day my boyfriend was getting his wisdom teeth taken out and I fainted when the iv was put into him. In the past I've fainted a few times while receiving needles and been a little sqeamish watching other people get needles but I thought I got over it a while ago. I was recently volunteering at a hospital in the ER and nothing bothered me although I didn't get to see too much as I was only a volunteer. I really want to go into nursing and I don't want to worry my first year about passing out in any of my placements because it would be really embarressing as a nursing student. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get over my fear of needles and has anyone else experienced a fear of needles and later became a nurse?? Thanks for your help.
