In nursing school at the beginning of each clinical semester, I would run to the bathroom after preconference and cry due to fear of the unknown!! And for almost a year I dodged needles, flat out refused to give shots. Let me just say it took alot of support from my fellow students (and a really sedated patient) to go through with my first injection. I remember shaking so bad that my instructor had to steady my hands. BUT THAT'S HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still don't like to give shots, but I definitely have it together now. It may sound a bit sick, but I actually enjoy the challenge of venipuncture. Most people learn to deal with it. Good Luck!!!!
