  1. I fainted today in OR:(

    164centimeters posted a topic in General Students
    Hi, I need some help/advise/encouragement.. something:( I had I my first OR observation today. vasovasostomy. Not 5 minutes into the procedure I started feeling dizzy. So I stepped back to sat down on a chair. I kinda knew what was gonna happen so I closed my eyes and I tried soooo hard to relax.. but when I opened my eyes, I found myself on the flood surronded by nurses. I was so embarrassed and no matter how many times they tried to assure me that this is common, I am still embarrassed.. I was sent home...sigh I have never been squeamish around blood. I'm currently a junior and this was my second time fainting. First time was last year when I was watching my instructor demonstrating sterile dressing change on a mannequin. I wasn't grossed out or anything. It wasn't even real blood!! It just happened! Is this something I will eventually become desensitized to? Should I look for nursing field that does not involve blood? I love nursing so much but is nursing right for me?
