So I really need to vent a bit. I started at a new clinic today at the Air Force medical hospital I work at. I had prided myself by being all prepared and was feeling pretty great and had went almost 2 days without vomiting..I was super pepped as I had weighed this morn my 1 mo post op and was down 25.3lb!!! I get to work and I am working in pediatrics. I have worked many areas including er,surgery, and hospice..I'm a nurse and have saw some pretty awful things!!! I am brand new meeting my coworkers and the dr I'm working for today and around 11 I go in with the dr and another coworker to assist with a circumcision. Well the baby is crying and finally numbed up and I am trying to comfort and soothe the baby. Idk if it was the heat, the sheer horror of what I was seeing being done to the baby,bending over to the table to comfort the baby for so long..or just dehydration but I made it to the very end of of procedure and fainted!!! I remember feeling lightheaded and my vision blurred and I was in a sweat And I was embarrassed And didn't want to say anything. I kept trying to breathe thru it and remain calm and just be professional. I remember saying something like .." I don't feel so good" and then I came to in a chair. Apparently I managed to get it out and was heard by the coworker and he was able to grab me before I hit the floor and drug me to a chair. I am utterly horrified. Embarrassed!!! There's not enough words to describe how upset and embarrassed I am cause I feel it made me look like a weak nurse!!! My very 1st day and I swear I can't make this crap up!! I don't think it was a huge thing then talked about but I'm sure I had a few snickers. Just horrified..anyways..there was my day and tomorrow we leave on a road trip so I can kinda hope it won't be as fresh next week when I go back...hope everyone else had a better day!!!!!

I've had several people tell me they've passed out. Are you getting over 60 oz of Water? are you getting all your Protein? I'm sorry that happened. that sucks.

I'm sure you'll make it up though.

Oh, and remember: you were cut up, rearranged and put back together little bit ago. You're good.

Cheer up once they all see how awesome you are as a nurse you guys will look back on this day and laugh!

I think I was a little low this morn but for the most part I've been pretty good at forcing the fluids even when I don't want to

I truly hope so!!! I do feel like I will have to prove myself a bit more

After all you were at a medical facility so I'm sure if anyone will understand they will. Don't sweat it. It's happened to my sister a few times over the last 8 years and her job loves her.

Thank u for that...I'm just having a pride issue. fortunately the dr I was with was very nice and didn't seem put out. He did tell me I wasn't the 1st I just hate it was my 1st day .. I'm such a perfectionist and very prideful

I seem to keep forgetting that cause I feel pretty good keeping my food down is what reminds me

You're fine if we live long enough we all will have/had moments of embarrassment ..... Luckily your coworker has quick a reflex ! Smile and tuck it away for a story to tell your grand kids someday. Enjoy your trip
