Actually Issac it all comes down do the field you are in whether you have to do that or not, but regardless for somereason it is different dealing with the sicko things with others as opposed to myself.
Doing what you said while gross, will stink and look gross but I will have gloves on and a uniform on and I will not be having the shit in my mouth.
As long as none of the sick shit is going into my mouth or in me I will be ok. I was never a mom that got vomited on or spitup on and stuff like that, I never shared drinks and forks and food with my kids just how I am. LOL
It does depend, to a certain extent, to the field you are in. But from what my relatives say, there are certain situations you won't be able to avoid because people/doctors/administrators are NOT going to say, "Oh, that's a radiological nurse, etc."
What specialty/field are you shooting for anyway? I can then tell you what body fluid you are going to be completely covered with by the end of your first year.
