SHOTS!!!!

 The dreaded day arrived two weeks ago.  I had been anticipating that day ever since I found out I got accepted into BYU's Nursing Program.  I don't know if its just me, but having inexperienced girls practicing giving shots on me did not sound like my definition of enjoyment.  The first morning of, I woke up and had to watch some quick skills videos on how to administer the shots.   I literally almost fainted, and had to lie on my back in the middle of my living room to not pass out.  I knew that was not a good sign.
So at 10:30 am. I arrived at the practice nursing lab.  I got partnered up with a girl from my high school, and it went from there.  I actually had SOO much fun!  The first shot I did was a ID (Inter dermal--the one that you get for TB where it makes a bubble under your skin).  I got the needle placed, but when I let go of the skin to inject the saline solution, the needle slipped out.  My partner was a trooper fyi!  Two weeks later, we had to practice 4-6 shots on each other.  Needles don't bug me anymore, except for the shot that goes into your stomach.  That one hurts for days!!!!

My fellow lab classmates!

Concentrate!!!!
