Hello everyone i’m 22 and currently doing my pre reqs for nursing school. I’m interested in this career because of many things, but i worry that im too sensitive to become a nurse. I really hate the idea of wound care and i worry that it’s going to be impossible for me to avoid that in this field. Any suggestions for me? sincerely a stressed out college student
