RNs /// Registered Nurses /// Please Answer?

Question

I want to become a registered nurse... i want to know what a regular day consists of and if you were a little squeamish about injecting needles into your patients... how did you get past that? i think maybe after seeing al lot of people getting injected it might go away... what do you think...

Answer 1

I am going to copy one of my previous answers to this question which has been asked frequently: Yes you are cut out to be an RN because you are normal! Most all of us had a least a slight aversion to injecting needles into a person, either to draw blood or to admininster an injection. You get over it because you are a professional and because you realize that the patient needs these things done to get better. The more skilled you become, the easier it gets, and the less discomfort for the patient. Injecting medications and drawing blood are a small part of an RN's daily life in most cases.
