Specialty within the Nursing feild that requires little or no contact with blood?

Published

Can I get these positions as a new grad? What specialties work less with blood and vomit and all of the other yucky stuff? I dont mean to sound ignorant or childish, but I just can't handle certain things!

I was so freaked out about having to change diapers when I started working as a caregiver. For a long time the smell of fecal matter would make me gag and I almost threw up a few times. Now it's no big deal! Seriously you will get over it, the more exposure you have to it the more desensitized you will become.

Unless you actually pass out every time you see blood, I had a friend like that. That could be a bit of a problem.

Doesn't everyone have to work the trenches first? Sure bodily fluids are gross but hey we all have them.
