I know this is an old thread now, but i have to go back and laugh at myself. I wrote this before i ever started nursing school, i was a very paranoid "germaphobe" at that time. Now what i once feared doesn't scare me so much, i just take precautions and hope that's enough. I guess exposure really does help rid you of your fear.

What does one usually learn or do during LPN clinicals? like what duties?

thanks for the advice!

Lice and Bed Bugs are the biggest fear for me, more so than an disease ...crazy..i know

okay i am new to this site so if i am posting in the wrong area, i apologize. I need advice i am scare of being a nurse, not because of blood, crap, puke or anything along those lines, but i have a fear of catching diseases..along with other things. How does a nurse avoid getting lice, scabies, and bed bugs when you are right there with the infected patient? I know this sounds immature and silly, but i am sure i am/was not the only one who has had this fear...so please ..advice??
