Today was our first clinical/lab day for Nursing 104. We were on campus all day doing various skills. Each skill area lasted about an hour. There were a couple of our instructors per station/skill. We did IMs, SubQ injections on a dummy. We learned about primary IV and secondary IVs. Eye drops, ear drops and nose sprays. Then the last station we did was our PPD or intradermal injection. We were so nervous! But, just like most things, it was the fear of the unknnown. The fear was WAY worse than actually getting the injection. My friend and I did each others injections. I injected her first while the instructor watched and gave me pointers. I did it right!!!! Whew!! Then it was my turn to be the patient. It didn't even hurt! My friend did a great job and so did I. We were both so relieved.
So, my first injection went really really well. Yeah!
