Hi everyone! I will be beginning nursing school (BSN program) in the fall and I am so excited! I am lucky to know quite a bit about nursing as my mother and aunts are all RN's themselves. Although I know nursing is the only career option for me and I feel very passionately about it, I have a large fear of needle sticks. Unfortunately, my high level of anxiety results from an aforementioned aunt having contacted Hep C from a dirty needle stick over a decade ago in the hospital. As you might imagine, it was quite traumatic for my family. I am hoping with more exposure and practice my fears will lessen, but at times my nerves make me uncertain of my ability to preform in the future. Any advice? Thanks!
