Block 1 ns needing to practice injectables

i've heard that practicing on an orange or tomato is similar to human flesh

try an orange!

oranges are great for IM practice. I used a hot dog to practice TB injections (the lining will bubble up like a layer of skill will). I think the tomatoes mentioned earlier would feel pretty close to a sub Q injection.

We used re-freezable, thawed ice packs in school. They will eventually leak, but you can poke them several times before that happens.

Initially, we used oranges to practice, then we used fellow students with NS injections. You do want to give a quick dart. I had a patient that requested that I put the needle in slowly. He witnessed the immunizations of the peole in front of him in line. He was fearful of the quick motion of the needle. I assured him that it would be more painful if it was put in slowly. Then, I reminded him that the people said that they didn't feel a thing. And, some asked me if I was certain that I gave the shot already. I reassured him that he would be fine with a quick injection. He trusted me and was fine, afterwords.

I know that it can be quite scary when you are first starting with injections. But, you will feel comfortable after doing a few injections. It does get easier!
