Alright, I believe I can handle the event of angry or irritable patients. I think I can eventually get the knack of multitasking and feeling rushed until learning everything all over again after nursing school would be finished buuuut... what stops me completely is(and this is slightly embarrassing)poop, vomit, smells, out of control sores. Did anyone start nursing not knowing if they could handle these things, or also being freaked out by these things? My friend is a nurse and she works in a nursing home now, but she didn't seem bothered by these things at all so I couldn't really ask her. All I know is for smells she said you're allowed to carry around Vix and put it under your nose for those bizarre smells you're going to encounter. Others I asked had kids and so they were pretty much immune to everything thrown at them. So someone who didn't have kids, perhaps has a queasy stomach to these things make it through and develop an immunity to it all and now enjoy your job?
