My biggest fear confronted.

So...
Last night i had to but an NG Tube into a patient. This is a tube (called nasogastric) that goes up into the nose and down the throat, into the stomach. My first experience ever with this procedure was several years back in denver, my ex boyfriend shimond who was my everything at the time needed one....and oh god, it was just horrific. I'm now realizing that i've worked myself up over a procedure that really wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. I mean yea...it was shitty for the patient...but for me...it was just another procedure. So there...i've done it...my biggest fear of being a nurse...confronted and succeeded!
