First injection

Hello fellow student nurses! I've just given my first two shots (sub-q and IM) today, and was pretty nervous doing it. Luckily, my partner was very cool, so it all went relatively good. I'm generally not a nervous type, so I'm curious: when did you start feeling comfortable giving injections? Did you get enough practice in clinicals?

    "Injection jitters" goes away as you keep them doing them. If you can, volunteer at a flu shot clinic in the fall - you will get a lot of practice doing IM injections! That's what I did and my first few I was sooo nervous...my hands were literally shaking, even as I went to dart in. After a few, they became really easy. Just give it some time!
