   ceridwyn thank you. May I know approximately how many people and with what relationship to nursing you asked? And I am sorry, but I don't understand why you wrote this: I have never written anything even close to this hypothesis. Only that practi...

   mumlauf replied to mumlauf's topic in Australia

   Yes, voluntarism (option to refuse) is important and serious thing with this kind of practice. Especially if you are talking about conditions with expired equipment, which was definitely not in this case - everything was double checked, under supervi...

   Please READ the posts above if you want judge my opinion about teaching IM, thank you. Beacause you would know that I have nothing against paper theory, DVDs, dummies, oranges or whatever, nobody is speaking about students doing IM each other without...

   mumlauf replied to mumlauf's topic in Australia

   So I guess you are horrified to give IM to patients because there are so many risks and potential legal implications, right? Do you actually know what intramuscular injection is? Do you know that everybody (or at least 99,9 % of Australians) got IM a...

   You suggested research on this topic and I explained that there are so many uncertainties that it is hard to get some relevant results... Especially the part: "According to the policy of the NHS in the UK, it is compulsory when staff sustain a needle...

12. Practice intramuscular injection students on each other, Australia

    mumlauf replied to mumlauf's topic in Australia

    There are many things around, which we can discuss, which for sure can help but also don't have to be around always when needed to help new nurses. It doesn't change anything on the fact, that as student it is best to practice and learn as much as yo...

13. Practice intramuscular injection students on each other, Australia

    mumlauf replied to mumlauf's topic in Australia

    I have to completely agree with this one. Only thing which helps and makes you more confident with giving IM to people is practice, best at the beginning with supervision and feedback. And that is what is it all about. With this method, and again onl...

    ceridwyn thank you. Well, I can assure you it is done this way in UK/Germany and other Europe countries. Of course in organized manner, under supervision and what is very important - with agreement of students, nobody is forced. And that is how it wa...

    Thank you. Yes, we already contacted "proactive Unions". They asked us if we can get something saying that this method is/was used in Australia, that is the point of this thread. Thank you again, good luck to you too :-)
