Giving flu shot to instructors...

Published

I signed up as a nurse for a flu clinic agency. I'm doing a couple of clinics at the community college where I graduated nursing school from. The nursing program is hosting it. I'm super nervous at the idea of possibly having to administer the injection to my previous and future ( I'm going back for RN in jan 2011) nursing instructors. :eek:Hope they are not focusing on my technique really closely. I have given plenty of injections and feels as though I do very well and competent but this is alittle nerve wrecking. At my CC the instructor are stress to aspirate for IM injections however the CDC says there is no need to, and I normally don't aspirate for flu IMs. I don't know. Maybe I'm just over thinking this. lol

This summer (during my nurse internship) I had one of my instructors as a patient and I had to insert her IV with her staring at me, and my nurses staring at me. That was pretty stressful, but it went in just fine :)
