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!
