| Posted almost 2 years ago As an instructor, I can honestly say I've never lost a student..Some students get a little queesy and pale white, but there will be others around to help you..I'll tell you a secret, it's usually the men that get nauseated..shhh! But just in case, we do keep ammonia inhalants around. If you do get queesy put your head between your knees and do some slow breathing. Really, that works.. So Best of luck to you and please do keep usposted.. Hugs,Teresa |

| Posted almost 2 years ago Dear TAPIALISETTE, I agree with Teresah, it'll take time. I remember my time in LPN school, I got used to alot of sights and smells. It takes some practice, I used Vick's Vapor Rub under my nose for nauseous odors. It really works, and you may want to purchase you a little tub before you begin clinical rotation. Let me introduce myself, I'm Shonna, and welcome to NL. Congrats on entering LPN school in the fall, and GOOD LUCK and GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
