Ok, I'm back from my mental health placement in Goulburn and thought I'd do a little thread padding here in the Aussie forum :p

I started my next med/surg placement this week (back home too, which is a relief). It's going ok so far....except...big smart ole me went to give my first injection this placement (whoo hoo - big deal for us students). Dummy me decided to crack open the med vial without using a swab around the neck of it. Now this is a big thing of mine - I'm paranoid about possibly cutting myself. Yup, you guess it - I cracked the vial, drew up the meds, went to the pts bedside, and with all the intelligence I have within me went `oooh, look....theres blood everywhere....' LOL. Uh huh I was a'bleedin' all over the patient and their drugs. Which drug was it?? Oh well, Heparin of course! Duh!

Luckily I have a sense of humour (and so did the pt and the RN with me). But really...when I'm so wary of cutting myself like that why did I go against my usual instinct?? Ah well..live and learn :rotfl:

I so love being a student (not!)....but at least I've finally stopped bleeding now LOL.

Hope that this helps :balloons:

So cool.... It'd be awesome...

Hey-- ya know whats cool about playing-- it involves a cool technique called circular breathing where you can blow infinite bubbles through your straw and into your juice... (good for getting into contests with nieces and nephews!)
