Things I Find Gross=Weird

[sj73201]

I was thinking/reading/watching the things Nurses and Nursing students go through. & i confess I was also watching an episode of "Nurse Jackie" (horrible representation of Nurses, but anywho) where a man felt something crawling around in his ear, when the nurse flushed it out, it was a spider! I am terrified of them...When I thought further, I DON'T have a problem with feces, throw up, cadavers, or blood...Soooo WHY in the heck am I scared of SPIDERS?! My father gives me problems about this like, "How are you gonna be a Nurse when you're scared of spiders? You're gonna see all kinds of things in the body!" I'm just like "Whatev Dad" LOL ...What is everyone else afraid of? I'm curious...

i am somewhat grossed out with vomit..but i think i am able to keep my composure as long as i have gloves and a mask. but any kind of trauma to the eye or teeth really grosses me out..and phlegm..i haven't had to do a trach suction yet but i know when it comes i may have to throw up afterwards (hopefully not during)!

I am the same way! I refuse to kill a spider...idk what it is & i'll just call my brother or father to do it for me I also read a thread about the Most Gross things people have dealt with & sadly it makes me not want to deal with the older generation or people suffering from any mental illness, when I initially wanted to do something in psych after having abnormal psychology last semester
