I agree with the other posters...in time you get more use to it and you find ways to deal with it while you are in training. I'm going in to my 4th year of my program - mostly the mucous/trach stuff is what makes me want to run off the floor. I'm not a blood guts kind a girl to be quite honest either compared to most of my fellow students and thats okay! Here's the thing...there are SO many different areas of nursing- you only have to do this for a finite amount of time if its the straw that breaks the camels back so to speak. You might find yourself in public health nursing where there is a lot more health promotion and teaching. Who knows, the options are limitless in this field.
