Don't be afraid of a little Trach juice to the face

I remember being a new nurse, my first Trach patient I was little creeped out by the sound and secretion coming from the Trach.  I was gentle and very careful with my patient and making sure that secretions coming from the Trach did not catch my face.   Well getting comfortable and playful with my patient, guess what? I was no longer creeped out, I was there to take care of my patient and I did just that, and of course I had Trach juice on my face and I was not liking it, I washed my face and continued taking care of my patient.    It hard to prevent such incident from happening especially when your patient is a pediatrics and you take care of then on a daily base in their homes.  The more you become attached and can't help but loving your patient having a little Trach juice to the face is nothing.   I love all my little ones.
