I just wanted to get other opinions on this.. thanks!  |
retired R.N here. yes you will get used to you. You will get to where you can clean you know what and eat at almost the same time. having worked in E.R. I have literally been soaked in blood at times. Changed scrubs and even my undies hadd blood on them. Not pleasant but you can live thru it. there is only one smell that I never got used to. I don't want to put it on the board but I will tell you if you p.m. me
