Took a patient to the 4th floor the other day and I mistakenly looked out their window. NEVER AGAIN.

I also have a bad fear of falling which is probably partly responsible for my acrophobia. Don't know what it's called exactly but again, its a true phobia.
if this is something you want to do, then you should go to someone that specializes in phobias (duh) but specifically, behavior therapy. Through this type of treatment, you go through a process known as systematic desensitization, which uses a variety of techniques to help you work through your phobia and develop coping strategies when confronted with it.

I will eventually. Becoming a flight nurse is a long road that involves getting your RN, specializing in critical care, working critical care for at least 5 years and then finding a slot on a helicopter somewhere. I figure I'll be in my late 30s before it happens so I've got time to work on this.

I told my boyf I wanted to fly to Cali for a vacation this year and he was all because I hate flying and I told him I wanted to fly. I said I'd take valium, my ipod (named Valium) and hold his hand.

I don't know the name of it, but guess I'm pretty scared of carnivorous fish.

Well, not even just fish, because the Portuguese Man O'War also scares the shit out of me. Shit stings, yo.
