Practice intramuscular injection students on each other, Australia

[mumlauf]

Practice intramuscular injection with nurse students on each other is standard way how to teach/learn intramuscular injection in Europe - UK/Germany/Etc. Of course only with students agreement.

Please help me if you have experience with this method in Australia by your statement - as a teacher or student. Or if there is anything which says this practice is forbidden in Australia.

It is very important to know for me, my girlfriend taught (we are both from Europe) by this method and now is facing official complaint from her supervisor - who said it was wrong to do it, unprofessional, against Nurse's Code of Professional Conduct etc., many terrible words, but not explain a word why, just said so. Thank you in advance for any genuine information.

ceridwyn thank you. May I know approximately how many people and with what relationship to nursing you asked?

And I am sorry, but I don't understand why you wrote this:

So on the premise of the original poster then, nurses in Australia from the 1940's have been poor im administrators of IMI who lacked confidence.

I have never written anything even close to this hypothesis. Only that practice IM on each other is under some circumstances good way to learn/teach IM and definitely better than pricking oranges - which can be first step I am not against at all.

If you want quote what I wrote, please feel free to quote it. But don't make things up and make it look I wrote it, thank you.
