So, I would like to tell you all that last night before I went to bed I was reading all these stories and I had a horrible dream LOL. I was cleaning up poop,:barf01: , and unmentionables and while cleaning I was gagging and having such a hard time. Seriously though, thank you all for your support and guidance it means a lot to me know, that I am not the only one that ever dealt with this.

Oh, also I am glad their is a lot of future nurses in my same boat because now we have something to bond over in nursing school.

Hi everyone,
I am almost done with my pre-reqs and I am very excited to start applying to nursing school. Sometimes, I can have a sweak stomach and was wondering if anybody could tell if they have experienced this too and was able to get through it in nursing school. I am okay with blood, I've been in hospitals, and I was fine in A&P with dissections. It's just sometimes I can have a weak stomach in certain situations. Does this happen to everyone? Did others go through this and get over it? Do you think I will eventually get over it? Any experiences in nursing school that you just couldn't handle? LOL Thanks in advance. :) I can't wait to be a fellow nurse

I have some things that make me a little nauseous, I'm think everyone does (well, maybe not the seasoned ER nurses) This head is nasty --> What freaks you out? - Nursing for Nurses but it helps alot:D, by the 7th page I was less nauseous than I was on page 2, just don't try reading all of it at once, pace yourself!:) I think this stuff comes with practice, most people have something the remain squeamish even after they are very experienced, but I think most people get over the nasty stuff, or at least they get used to it, or they learn to block it out and not let it get to them... :rolleyes:

Im in my last semester of nursing school and was wondering the same thing. Vomit grosses me out all the time. I hoping I will get used to the vomiting especially because I want to do L&D and I know I will probably see alot of that.

After being a nurse for 25 years some things make still make me queasy. My husband always laughs and says he can't believe I could be so squeamish and be a nurse.
