Is there any nursing jobs that don't require sticking people with needles? |
I am looking to get into the nursing or medical field but feel squemish about sticking people with needles. regardless of the job, just during school learning to be a nurse you have to stick people with needles. In my class as a medical assistant we had to practice on each other, I had some sore arms! You have to learn to give subq's (back fleshy part of arm) and Intramuscular in the arm and hip so you'll be doing a lot of sticking! Plus on top of that you'll have to learn to give blood draws and IV's. If you are squeamish about it and you really have a desire to be a nurse, you'll probably get over it by the time you're ready to work. Not too many. Are you sure you want to be a nurse if you can't or don't like to perform one of the fundamental responsibilities of a nurse? It sounds to me like you might need to look at something different. what about a school nurse? i have never seen one of them stick anyone with a needle. (i guess there would be instances where it would be absolutely necessary. maybe you shouldn't be a nurse) Unfortunately, you can't even get through nursing school without poking a few people with needles. I had a huge phobia about needles before I went to school - believe me, after you do it a few times you'll be ok! but, but, but, thats the best part. |
