Has anyone ever not been paying attention and gotten stuck with a needle? I am starting pre nursing this fall. I want to be a nurse, but getting stuck with a needle is unacceptable to me. If it's about rushing, I won't do that. It's not our fault the hospital doesn't want to hire enough RNs to keep the place going. We can do as much as we can, but I am not going to rush and be "unsafe" What if any things can I do to ENSURE that this does not happen. Thank You very much.

I think this is possibly a first. I was very careful as always, and when I did a blood sugar stick with one of those tiny hidden lancets and when I pricked the patients finger he moved and it went thru his skin and into mine! I had no clue but a tiny feeling. Yes we need to be very careful but it still can happen.
