Would not being able to look at needles being put in be a huge problem?

I get very anxious when I see a needle go into the skin and it makes me kinda sick and with this field I don’t know if it would be a big problem.

Hi Madi,

Having a fear of needles as a nurse is almost certainly a problem because you'll have to learn to give injections and do many other procedures, but it doesn't need to stay a problem.

I would recommend to start working on it now, so you can overcome your fear.

I don't know where to point you for assistance in your area, but here are some guidelines:

Maybe talk to your doctor or call the hospital they might be able to point you in the right direction. You may also need to work with a psychologist. It would be a shame if you could not persue your dream career.

Good luck!
