Nine months ago today, on Friday, February 13th, I started thinking about this nursing school thing. Today, I am nearly finished my first semester. Do I ever question my decision? Every day. Do I wish I hadn't decided to do this? Nope. Yesterday, I gave my first IM injection. Some poor man agreed to let students practice on him. I gave him a flu vaccine in one arm. Another student gave him the pneumococcus vaccine in the other arm. Yet another student did his PPD. Next week, I'll give some more injections. I'll get better at this. Thank you, Mr. D. for allowing us to practice. Sorry if it hurt. Standardized test on Monday. This is more stressful than giving a shot.
