Help with fainting episodes

Rating:
(votes: 0)


I am a first year nursing student, and have recently found out that I experience vasovagal syncope episodes when observing venipunctures. I'm trying to watch as many as I can to hopefully get myself used to it. Any suggestions?PsI'm fine with lacerations and everything else except simple venipunctures. I can watch them on babies and children, just not adults. I have no idea why either.
We can't provide medical advice but from a practical standpoint:1. Tell your instructor ahead of time. 2. Sit down when observing blood draws. 3. Leave quickly and quietly if you feel the need.

Comment:
Take slow deep breaths while watching. Sometimes we hold our breath without realizing it. Try to sit/stand away from the crowd so you don't feel closed in.
