Nervous Momma

I am a nursing student currently in my pediatric rotation. Learning about all sorts of problems that can go wrong with a child and seeing sick kids 2 days a week is scaring the crap out of me : I cannot wait for my blood work results from the full integrated screen today or tomorrow and for my anatomy scan next Tuesday to make sure baby is healthy.

I hear ya. I'm a labour and delivery nurse and I'm pretty terrified to give birth even though the majority of the time everything is fine.

ER nurse here.  I don't currently work, but DH is an ER doc who has brought home an awful story (which resulted in my tears and his promise to never do it again).  I think that the worst part is the bad stories never leave you.  Sure, you remember some of the good ones, but the bad ones stick like glue.  :-(

I work with children who have cancer ages birth-18....seeing everything i've seen its truly a miracle to have a healthy child.  Being a nurse is vey humbling and will teach you to count your blessing every day often more than once!!  Hang in there...I hope your scan goes well.
