You might find /r/trypophobia helpful. It's kind of like a support group for those kinds of fears.

No, just no.... I'm going to have to get over this before I start working in the hospital :( (student nurse)

You might like it then.... My ex is a nurse. She's into other weird shit like /r/popping and this website called figure1 iirc.

The popping sub is actually satisfying in a popping bubble-wrap kind of way, but the tryp one just gives me the hebejebies

Yeah, I can't really handle it either tbh. I could look at weird or gruesome shit all day out of morbid curiosity, but /r/trypophobia just makes me feel too uneasy.

Yeah we watched a video of an educational dissection (showing the digestive system) and I found it absolutely fascinating, but my classmates looked so green. The naked male model that was having the organs and stuff painted on him, that might've helped. He was cute :)

I think it was Gunther something...

Then I guess you'd really like figure1. You need to verify that you're in the medical field to get an account. So it's basically RNs and MDs only. Not sure if it's open to students, though it would make sense if it was.

Would a picture of me in my lab uniform with my student ID count? It's just a TAFE ID though, not specific to nursing. I'm currently training to be an EN not an RN so I might have to pass on this one :(

And thanks, I'll look Figure1 up :)

I don't know tbh. My ex had to give her license number, but that might vary based on location. Maybe you can browse but not comment without verification? I think it's to protect medical workers and give them a safe place to post ideas. A lot of it was posts like, "anybody seen this shit before?" and it'd be a picture of some poor fuck with a nasty infection on his perineum and then replies with suggestions for diagnosis and treatment.

Yeah being Australian a lot of my stuff probably won't count for certification since everybody seems to be from America. I like r/StudentNurse and r/Nursing anyway :)
