help with injections?

Daytonite, BSN, RN · May 30, 2007

i went through all the links i have filed on injections and these is what i was able to pull out. i was able to verify that the last link to the mayo clinic diabetes center is valid and that the "how to inject insulin" video does load up just fine. i haven't been able to verify that all the other links are still active because i am having trouble staying connected the the internet at this time (the problem of not being able to get dsl service). don't be surprised if some of these schools have denied the public access to these sites. hope you are doing betting in your nursing program.
