Items for practicing injecions

[Leonardsmom,LPN]

We are starting subcutaneous injections this week at school. Was wondering what suggestions folks may have for food items and such to practice on. Planning on picking up a cheap package of hotdogs and an orange. Anything else that is not too expensive that may work well? Thanks :)

something squishy. Stress balls are good... because you can pinch them, as you would real skin. Just squeeze them and the fluid comes back out.

My roommate and I injected our oranges with vodka. Instant screwdriver. ������

And, pardon me for asking, but just who were you supposed to use the practice Foley kit on?? ������

Haha. I used it on a teddy pair with a straw for a genital area. But the school gave those supplies to the students so they could use them in lab or at home. It was more to get the motions down and remember the procedure for checkoff.
