Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes it can be quite nervwracking, but once you get through the first one or two they get to be easier and then you start liking to do it. I just went through a OB and Psych and only game one IM injection during OB. I start med surg after christmas break so It will be like starting over again!!!! But it is just like riding a bike:)
Thanks for all the votes of confidence, everyone. :)
I also want to mention that I didn't get the least bit woozy. You all might remember my fear of needles post from earlier this quarter. It was a totally different feeling *giving* it than receiving it. I kept waiting for "that" feeling to come over me -- the one I get when I know I'm going to pass out, but it never came. I was pleasantly surprised! :)

Hi everyone,
I did my first injection tonight! It was an IM flu shot. Everything went fine other than the few drops of blood when I withdrew the needle.
Anyway, it was a pretty good night. :) I pass my first meds tomorrow. I'm almost feeling like a real student nurse!
