I'm with mommatrauma, eyes freak me out. My eyes are watering just thinking about it. Gives me the chills.

spuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

yuck.

I've said it before: two words that should never go together...

fecal emesis.

Oh, and earwax all clumped up w/ hair.

ANYTHING that comes out the MOUTH......

Edited to add: I'll trade for the OP's wound tissue - love a good debridment .

Deal. I should probably finish more than a week and a half of my BSN-MSN program before we hammer out the details, though. Clins start Wednesday!

Nothing much bothers me. But a drunk's emesis can take my breath away.

Also liver failure poop can be noxious.

Sputum doesn't bother me a bit.

Okay, see you all are totally making me re-think this nursing gig again!

Years ago nothing much like this stuff would have bothered me, but since I'm older, I get grossed out so much easier for some reason.

You'd think with all of the nasty situations 7 kiddos can bring, I wouldn't be bothered by much.

I used to be a CNA (years ago) and could do just about all of that work without a problem, now for some reason it bothers me and my gag reflex has really kicked in.

The "grossness factor" is what terrifies me most going into clinicals. :uhoh21: I can take all the book work they want to throw at me, but gross stuff? Like I said, now I'm re-thinking nursing! LOL! Even though its the only thing I've ever wanted to do for as long as I can remember - except being a mom.

I'm pretty easy going, usually things that get me get most people; GI bleed poo, that sort of thing.

I do work with a nurse who has a particular "squick out". I work NICU and as some may know, sometimes babies are born with extra digits, the ones without bony joint connection to the hand are simply tied off and eventually they fall off. Until they do they hang there on the side of the hand (usually) purple and dangling. This one nurse who is very good and very compassionate cannot take those at all. She calls them "grapes" and always shudders when they touch her. She says they just freak her out and she's always afraid they are about to fall off (which is the objective).

I can handle anything..but ANYTHING coming out or hanging out of the eye gives me the willies!:stone
