unsure of blood

[mellow]

Looking at studing nursing, but unsure if I can cope with the blood, and some of the scenes especially in A&E. So how did you nurses find it, were you unsure before studing? Did you not mind blood or do you just get use to it? How do you cope with it now. Any help would be great

Thanks

Only two things get to me

1) the sound of someone vomiting, the sight and smell are no biggee.

2) an extremely infected postpartum c-section incision. It reminded me of the smell of the month old raw chicken that my mom accidentaly left in a ice chest on the porch in the summer for two weeks after a camping trip.
