student nurse looking for advise?


Question:
Im in nursing scool first year. And we just learned how to give a shot. Im so nervouse about aspirating for IM injections.
What If i draw blood ?

Answers:
I have given thousands of injections and have never aspirated blood. If you do you have to get a new needle and reinject in another area. Since you are injection into muscle you shouldn't have a problem. Get some oranges and practice injecting and aspirating. An orange has the same resistance as skin. I went through hundreds of oranges during my practice phase. Now I can give a pretty painless shot. I have even had kids say "wow" after I give them a shot. If you want to know the secret E-mail me cause I don't share my secrets with just anyone but would be happy to tell you. When faced with a live target don't act nervous be quick to dart the needle in and practice that nurse face that tells everyone you know exactly what you are doing.......You'll do great!!!!
