  1. Patient scratched by needle during vaccination

    ajz1215 posted a topic in Nursing Career
    I am a GN working for a pediatrician. Before I give any vaccinations to children, I make sure that the parent is holding on to them tightly and explain that they need to keep a good hold on them because someone could get hurt with the needle. I also recheck to make sure that they are still holding them tightly between shots. But as I was giving a vaccination today, the child moved and the needle scratched his arm and it bled. I went and got our doctor who said it was just a superficial scratch, put a large bandaid on it and reassured the mother. This is the first time that this has happened to me and I feel AWFUL. Has this happened to anyone before? Any advice for me regarding how to better handle a situation like this?
