Hello im currently doing my pre-requist. courses to get into the practical nursing program. The only problem is that i have a very weak stomach anything with veins makes me sick to my stomach like im going to pass out. I took a class in high school where i got to see dialysis patients and work in different parts of the hospital but it seems like over the year my stomach has grown very weak. I've been told that you'll get over your weak stomach after a little while. Is there anything i can do right now that would help. My classes show movies about surgery, stiches, staples, etc. And i get grossed out. Any help would definitely be appreciated!
Thanks and i rate!

This is a little out there, but you could try making some posative connections with the things that make you queezy. For example, every time you see something that makes your stomach queezy you could think about a favorite memory or a nice compliment you have been given recently. Anything that might help your brain connect the gross scenes to something positive. [ annie123e's advice column | Ask annie123e A Question ]
